Abandon Me

Sometimes it feels like I'm totally alone. I'm looking at pictures and missing my family soooo much. I know it sucks but I can't be there for my mom and so she had to move back and I know it's pointless but oh how I wish my daddy was here for her. It's so heartbreaking that when it was finally their alone time, after all the struggle and hard work, it was his time to go. Oh Allah give them both peace. But looking at our old family pictures reminds me of how happy we were, so close, so perfect. Now we're scattered around the world and beyond. My only source of comfort is my sweetheart. I pray I always have him by my side. Love you!

Another time, another place

Im looking at old photographs and thinking did all that really happen only a few years ago? Maybe it's my bad memory but everything seems like it happened ages ago. Even IBA, which just ended a month back, seems a distant and vague recollection. I want to hold on to those memories and feelings longer but somehow they're slipping away.

The mama-and-me team

Now that I'm away from home with not much to do, I can't help but look back over the last few months. My mom and I did so much stuff together not just for the weddings but other major tasks too, we made a great team. i sometimes feel guilty for breaking it up but life has to move on right? Almost two years of continuous one-on-one time and it made me realize what a strong, smart, steadfast, brave and adorable woman my mama is. I'm so proud of her and hope I can be even a tiny bit like her. love you mama!
