What were your grandparents?

Post by Heidi_ »

What did they do for a living? I think this could be an interesting discussion.

One of grandfathers was in the military man. The other was a seafarer. He traveled to various places in the world during his lifetime. Both of grandmothers were housewives.

All my grandparents died very young may Allah (sw) give them a place in Jannah. I was told that both of my grandparents were teachers, one of them taught French and English and the other was Qur'an teacher.

Doqon at one point I was naive enough to think that you still had some brain cells in your head still functioning..

Damn..and you were claiming to be a man(at this point a cuqdad riiden kid and a fool) who knew something about somali history.

How many wars were there between Somalia and Etiopia?? or your memory is limited to that of 1977?? talk about irony.. :lol:
