| [slm] Dearest brothers and sisters The time has come. Tomorrow I leave Singapore for my studies. Alone. It has been a very hectic week since my resignation last Friday. But it has also been a reflective and pensive week. So many thoughts, so many feelings, too many fears. If only I can project my heart and what contains within onto a white canvas, then the picture it makes is one full of excitement for a new venture, full of humility for the opportunity Allah has given me, full of sadness for things left behind, full of heartbreak for the desperate longing I will have for my children. These tears have been my constant companion as I stare at their beautiful faces asleep at night, peaceful in Allah's cradle. These tears are my only comfort when the thought of not being able to kiss their faces everyday, not being able to feel their arms around my neck and when not being able to see their innocent smile is just too much to take. A mother's heartbreak is a norm, so my mother once said. I have felt twinges of it when my son wriggle in my arms because he thinks he is too big for me to hug and kiss him in public, I have felt it when my daughter didnt cry as she waved me goodbye to attend her playgroup and I have felt it today when my beautiful son told me that he is grown up and can take care of himself. But nothing can prepare me for the heartbreak of being away from them for long periods of time. Nothing. Our children are not ours. They are Allah's creation, entrusted to us for care. Despite the fact that they are not ours, we cant help loving them more than our life sometimes. We cant help knowing that it us they look for...at the end of the day. I cant help shedding these tears for them everyday. Please make dua for my two children. That they will always feel a mother's love and warmth, that ALlah will embrace them in His Mercy and Blessings, that they will be stronger Muslims from this experience, most importantly, that a mother's tears will wash away all their fears and hurt, that her heartbreak is their salvation. Syukran. |

| Aww, Sis Solehah if its anything then remember the good times that you had. Subhanallah you have two kids who will insha-allah grow up to be dutiful muslims. May Allah give you sabr. [quote]Despite the fact that they are not ours, we cant help loving them more than our life sometimes. [/quote] Know the feeling, I guess I'd do the same for my parents and they for me. Yet many are not so fortunate to have kids, just last week this couple had an accident, the wife passed away instantly the man survived. How long married for, four months. I hope Allah makes it easy for you and us all when our little babys leave us. Salaams |
