Catching Up

Last night I had a sweet dream. My daddy called me on my cell phone just to catch up. He was calling from his office in between some task or the other. He asked how the new apartment was and if the baby was being good and not bothering me too much. He seemed happy and I went on as if we spoke only yesterday. When I woke up I felt lighthearted and peaceful. I liked seeing my daddy in his usual mode- happy, busy, caring.
I've heard your spirit travels to the places you see in your dreams. I hope that's true, I just might have met my daddy for awhile. I hope he is happy where he is and knows we all miss him everyday. I wish he was still here to see me all grown up with a family of my own. But that's life, it's Allah's will- I can only pray for his eternal peace. May Allah bless his soul.

it's so easy to think your life sucks. you look to others and think they have everything and they must be perfectly content. truth is, you don't know what they're going through. how do you know their lives aren't tougher than yours in one way or the other? how do you know they're not struggling to get something you already have? you might have painted a picture of your perfect life and someone else has it while you have something totally different. it's not easy but have patience and be thankful for what you do have. The Supreme Creator has given you what you have (or not given you what you want) for a reason and in the end it's only for your own good.
