Personal Life
If you are here it is because you would like to know more about me. This is my space and I would like to share it with you: my memories, my life and those significant moments that have shaped me – sometimes good, sometimes not so good.

PERSONAL LIFE
The Falcon
My Personal Life
I was born and brought up in North West London. My parent’s first born and they remember my birth as being the happiest moment of their lives. When they first laid eyes on me I was everything their hearts had desired.
It was my father’s decision to call me Shaheen. The name Shaheen is of Persian origin, referring to the Shaheen Falcon. The name is constructed from Shah meaning King and the suffix meaning Royal in Persian. Falconry was widely practiced by royalty in ancient Mesopotamia from the time of Assyrians hence the possible transfer of the name to the falcons themselves.
I have two younger sisters. They are both very different from each other and I am close to both. My parents who still live in the same house we all grew up in have always been an active presence in our lives, and they have loved us all unconditionally. All three of us have been bought up well. Respect, love, faith and family are what has kept our family together and close.
I share my life with my partner who I met in London during the summer of 1998 and where we still live, having spent several years living in both Philadelphia and New York. He is my strength, my joy, my best friend. We have experienced great adventures together and comforted each other during the bad times in the knowledge that the good times will return.
He is an accomplished and successful marketing executive with over 25 years of publishing experience and an excellent Spinning Instructor.

“While you were just a small boy
We held your little hand
We answered all those many questions
Of sky and sea and land
We kissed away your hurts
As only parents can
We gladly accepted each cherished hug, with small arms holding tight
For we knew the time drew nearer
With every passing night
You are no longer our little boy
Instead you are a grown man
But we will always hold you in our heart
Though we can no longer hold your hands”
