Actress Rania Farid Shawqi mourned her sister, producer Nahid Farid Shawqi, who passed away last Tuesday.
Rania wrote on her Instagram account: “Unfortunately, we get used to the loved ones in our lives as if they are eternal in this world, just as we get used to blessings as if they continue forever, and this is one of the faults of humans. My dear beloved sister, Nahid, I apologize to you because I got used to you in my life. Maybe my imagination was weaker than I imagined.” Your separation may have taken us away from the troubles of the world, and God enlightened our insight, and we returned to embracing each other and the love that we were raised with, and our love for Baba was always bringing us together. Maybe because I forgot that we all grow up. Maybe because I came into the world to meet you, my big, strong, stubborn sister who does not know such a thing as surrender, and her will is iron. Your strength reassured me of you.
She continued: “I don’t know what I’m writing, but what I feel is much bigger than any words. I still don’t understand, and when someone says, ‘May God have mercy on her,’ she’s been in labor in the recent period. I used to see Daddy in you, with all his movements, the way he spoke, his looks, and your jokes, and I said to the grandchildren who didn’t see their grandfather, Nahid, that she became a copy of your grandfather when You see it as if you saw him, Glory be to God.”
She continued: “The strange thing is that I am one of the people who is afraid to enter upon a deceased person because it remains the last impression that is left in the memory of the person. But when I entered and saw you smiling as if you were asleep and dreaming a beautiful dream, I felt that you saw Farid, your son, welcoming you and taking you to your loved ones, Papa and aunt, Hoda and Maha, our sister. This is my interpretation of your calm smile.” You are so beautiful and clear that your separation has been made easy for all of us and you will not leave me for the rest of my life. You were satisfied with all the destinies of God and submitted your affairs to God. Until we meet, my sister, say hello to Ali Baba and tell him, “Life without you is not life.” And I feel like he comes to me in a dream with a grocery store that has been gone for a while. You will miss me so much. From my father and from my heart.”
The funeral of producer Nahid Farid Shawqi, daughter of the late artist Farid Shawqi, and mother of artist Nahid Al-Sebaei, will be held this Thursday evening at the Police Mosque in Sheikh Zayed in Al-Wahhab Hall after the Maghrib prayer.
