Meet Muhammad!

About my family: there are five of us and we are happy with that. Mum, dad, me, and my brother and sister. I like to say that their presence is a bless . . . however, sometimes a mess!

My brother is six years my junior. My sister is three years my senior. The more we fight, the closer we get. That’s how it works here; our emotions for each other are unexpectedly strong, even if it could all fall down, we’re happy to build that back up again. Even if life squeezes a lemon inside of our eyes, there’s always a bottle of water for everyone to pour for a little for relief.
