A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven.

It’s been a very special day that I spent with my dad and will ever remember.
We did some shopping together then we had dinner. All in all, I had a wonderful time that I wish the time didn’t fly by so quickly.
DAD YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION.
Dad, Thanks for always being there for us.
I’m so glad, grateful and proud to be your daughter.
If I keep thanking you all my life it won’t be enough.
اللهم اغفر لهم جميع ما مضى من ذنوبهم ، واعصمهم فيما بقي من عمرهم،
اللهم أعنا على برهم حتى ترضى عنا فترضى ، اللهم اعنا على الإحسان إليهم في كبرهم
اللهم ورضهم علينا ، اللهم ولا تتوفاهم إلا وهم راضين عنا تمام الرضى،
اللهم اعنا على خدمتهم كما ينبغي لهم علينا،
اللهم اجعلنا بارين طائعين لهم , اللهم ارزقنا رضاهم ونعوذ بك من عقوقهم
اللهم ارزقنا رضاهم ونعوذ بك من عقوقهم
اللهم ارزقنا رضاهم ونعوذ بك من عقوقهم
The Dutch Royal family gave 100,000 bulbs to Canadians as token of thanks for being sheltered here during World War II after their country was over-run by the Germans, and for the Canadian liberation of Holland. The Royal Family stayed at Rideau hall (Government House) for the duration of the war. When Queen Juliana was pregnant with Princess Margriet, the problem of royal inheritance (requiring heirs to be born in Holland) was solved when the Canadian Parliament passed an act temporarily ceding a room in the Ottawa Civic hospital to the Dutch Crown. The first bulbs were gifted in 1945, and the first Tulip Festival was held in 1953.
I came back from visiting my family today and took the metro from the bus terminal to the closest metro station to my building, which is only two blocks. As before you cross the gates at the metro there is a machine where if you press on a button you get a transfer ticket -free bus ticket, and because I have a small carry-on bag I decided I’d get a ticket. As I was going towards the gates someone in front of the ticket gate asked me, “is it possible for you to get me one of those tickets?”… I hesitated for seconds, he didn’t look like a complete homeless, though there are some homeless look good and no one would tell from their look that they are actually homeless. I gave him my ticket and got a new one.
I don’t know if I should not have given him that ticket. I also wonder what would be the case if the man at the ticket booth on the far left side noticed me.
What do you think you would you do if you were in my situation?
