Every Thursday evening, Muhanad, Shaker, and Hussein eagerly wait for their Jiddo to arrive. They love spending time with him because he makes them feel so special. Jiddo always has a big smile on his face when he sees them, and that makes the boys very happy.

Once Jiddo arrives, he takes the boys to the supermarket. There, they get to pick out whatever they want, whether it's their favorite snacks or a new toy. Jiddo loves watching the boys' eyes light up with excitement as they explore the aisles.

After the supermarket, Jiddo takes them to the farm. The boys love running around and playing in the open fields. They especially enjoy feeding the animals and learning about nature from Jiddo. It's always an adventure at the farm with Jiddo by their side.
Hands joined in prayer, with the focus on the small hands of the boys holding onto Jiddo's larger ones.
Before they leave the farm, Jiddo and the boys take a moment to pray together. The boys love holding Jiddo's hand during the prayer. After the prayers, they all share a warm and loving hug, feeling grateful for each other's company.

As a special treat, Jiddo takes the boys to their favorite doughnut shop. They get to choose their favorite flavors and enjoy every bite while sitting with Jiddo. The boys love the sweet treats and the laughter they share with Jiddo.

Back at Jiddo's house, the boys sit on his lap as he tells them stories. They love cuddling with him and listening to his gentle voice. It's their favorite part of the day, feeling safe and loved in Jiddo's arms.

The boys cherish the special bond they share with Jiddo. They feel so lucky to have him in their lives, and they know that Jiddo loves them very much. They can't wait for the next Thursday to come around so they can have more adventures with Jiddo.

As the day comes to an end, the boys give Jiddo big hugs and thank him for the amazing day. Jiddo smiles and tells them how much he loves spending time with them. The boys fall asleep feeling happy and loved, dreaming of their next Thursday with Jiddo.
