To my mother
To the soul of my father
To my dearest children, Mohamed, Nada, and Khaled
To my dearest friend Maha Eltiby
—Amr El Tiby
To my late parents, who taught me love, tolerance, and
perseverance. Their extraordinary humanism is for me a
constant lesson that I will always cherish.
To my wife, who remained kind and patient through the whole
process. Her support, dedication, and tolerance are continuous
reminders to me of the meaning of love.
I am greatly indebted to her.
To my children, who had to bear with my absences. Their presence
and support are a constant light and give warmth to my life.
—Wafi k Grais
