The house was filled with balloons, cake, and laughter, but actress Maria felt a quiet sadness that day.
Yasmeen Said, famous for her TV role, planned a small, sweet birthday party for her son. Close friends and family arrived early, bringing music and little gifts. Everything was set, but one chair was empty.The boy’s father didn’t come.
Yasmeen shared a honest message with her fans, expressing her disappointment as she watched her son wait for someone who didn’t appear. She explained it wasn’t about causing drama or placing blame, but about the hurt a kid feels when promises are broken.
She told how her son kept asking if his dad was coming. Each hour made it tougher to answer. By evening, she decided to make the day special, setting aside her own feelings to make her son smile.
Friends say the actress usually keeps her personal life private. But this time, she felt she needed to speak up for single parents facing the same thing. She mentioned that being a parent should always be a responsibility, and kids deserve stability, not excuses.
Despite the pain, Yasmeen said she isn’t bitter. Her focus, she said, is raising a happy and confident child. She promised to always be there, whether anyone else is or not.
As the candles were blown out and everyone clapped, she chose strength over sadness.
To her, love means being present. And that, she said, is the one gift her son will always have.
