First and foremost, I thank the Almighty for giving me the courage and patience to write my life journey under the current title “From Seven to Seventy-Seven”. It narrates my life path that includes my dreams, aspirations, and challenges. The book is divided into sections with details about the hardship, fun, sadness, wisdom-learned, and experiences over 70-years of my lifetime. In different parts of the book, our ancestors’ rich culture, traditions, oral-story, Eritrean history and struggle from my perspective, and strong Eritrean identity have been narrated in detail. Even though the book is a biography of me and my family, most of the events, experiences, life journey, and story represent a life journey that is common amongst most Eritreans. It has been my life-time dream and heartfelt wish that Eritreans, especially senior citizens with immense life experiences, pass their wisdom and strong values on to the young generation in order to sustain the continuity of Eritrean culture and history uninterrupted. I have full confidence in the next generation Eritreans in Eritrea and in the diaspora.
