In a lovely gesture, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, paid a visit to the widow of the late Obeid Mohammed Al Helou.
The post on his twitter feed reads: "On Mother's Day. I was honoured to visit Fatima Ibrahim bin Salman, widow of the late Obeid Al Helou. I heard only good things about her. An Emirati mother who not only dedicated herself to her family, but also to this society, giving back in an unlimited, selfless way. thank you to all the mothers. may every year smile upon you and all mothers of the world with its blessings."
In a video linked with the post, Fatima can be heard saying, "Your visit is a great honour for me."
"It is my pleasure to come and visit you. Thank you for all of what you've done, your reputation precedes you. you do goodness and are blessed," said Sheikh Mohammed.
She responds: "We wish we could come and visit you. what is the reward of goodness except for more goodness."
At the end of the video, the following words appear on the screen: "Words fail to describe the purity of your hearts and the greatness of your sacrifice and the amount of love you have given our universe. may your years be filled with love. Sheikh Mohammed."
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid, Crown Prince of Dubai, also accompanied Sheikh Mohammed during the visit.
On this Mother's Day, I was glad to visit Fatima Ibrahim bin Suleiman, widow of Obeid Al Helou. I had heard a lot about her - she is an Emirati mother who devotes herself not only to her family, but also to her community. We thank her, and all mothers, today and every day. pic.twitter.com/5Y1OK8DHSrHer husband, Obeid Al Helou, received the Sharjah Award for Voluntary Work in its tenth local iteration and sixth regional iteration in 2012.
