أهملت ولادي لفترة طويلة، وجيت على أسرتي كتير نتيجة قناعة أقدر أقول عليها دلوقتي غير صحيحة وهي إن وجودي القصير يقدر يعوض الغياب الطويل، لكن الحقيقة إن الأبوة الحقيقية أكبر وأقوى حضورًا من كده بكتير، الأهل طماعين في العطاء هو ده جوهر الأبوة، أخدت من وقتهم وحقهم واديت لشغلي ودراستي ودي حاجة ندمان عليها، محدش بطل خارق عشان يقدر يوفي كل جانب حقه، لازم الواحد يختار أولوياته.
I neglected my children for a long time, and I burdened my family a lot due to a conviction I can now say is incorrect, which is that my brief presence can compensate for the long absence. But the truth is that real fatherhood is much larger and stronger in presence than that. Family is greedy in wanting and needy, and that is the essence of parenthood. I took from their time and their rights, and gave it to my work and my studies, which is something I regret. No one is a superhero capable of fulfilling every aspect of their role; one must choose their priorities.
