La Karima Princess Of The Imperial Marrakesh Was Against Me Going to The United States Of America..


Was she right? Was she wrong? She Is No Longer With Us. God Bless Her.


I have already started the discussion with my sisters to move La Karima
from Rabat to the Imperial Marrakesh where she belongs.

Do Not Worry Dear Lion. La Karima's First Son Is Still Here.

La Karima passed away during Covid. ... I was not there .. I am still the First Son.
And I will take care of bringing My Mother la Karime to the Imperial Marrakesh. Home Of The Saadians.

Oueld Karima.

In the outskirts of the Imperial Marrakesh ...... Baaaaaba. Not baba.
Baaaaaba was coming on a horse followed by many horsemen .....

The horses raised a cloud .... A Big Cloud of Dust. The women started screaming Baaaaaba is coming ...
The Yoooso Yooo ... The women the little kids .... Yoooo Yooo .....


Baaaba came and during lunch the women were separated from the men .....
And the during lunch:
Someone Told Baaaba. This is little Saint John Oueld Karima ..

Baaaba puts me on his laps for the duration of the lucnh ....
