Salaam aleikum
No, its not as scary as it sounds hehe. There is a woman in my life. My best sister in the world. She comes from Somalia, and I meet her the first time, in the summer of 2003. She was a refuge. She was waiting for her answer if she could live here or not.
We just connected instantly. She is the sweetest person I ever meet. I love being in her company, and I love just hanging out with her. Sadly, I see her only every summer, as she lives in my hometown far far away from here.
She is so strong. She has been through so much in her life, and she lived a life I can not really imagine. Last year, she got married. And her baby boy was stillborn, May Allah bless him…
Today I got the best SMS ever from her… Saying her daughter was born, a little, healthy baby girl. May Allah bless the little one, May Allah shower his blessings on the little girl, and her parents, and may Allah make her a blessing for her parents, and our Ummah.
I am just so happy for my sister, and I just wanted to express my happiness somewhere, and my gratitude towards Allah for giving her this gift of a child, after such a loss.
Abaayo, waan ku jece lahay. With my heart, and for the sake of Allah.

Because I love my sisters, and I want whats best for them, in this life and the next. My life is complete, I need nothing more. Because I have Allah.
