#2. Your 2nd Birthday (Hijri)

Assalaamualaikum WBT.

Dear Khaulah,

Your birthday in Hijri was on 8 Rabiulakhir 1436, which is later today. Oh you were born (as documented by the nurse) at 7.10 pm  by the way. First and foremost of course we thank Allah for lending you to us for two years and we ask for Allah's forgiveness if somewhere and somehow we were careless in fulfilling our responsibility towards you. And we want to thank you, Khaulah, for being here with us, adding more laughter to our little family and circle of friends. And of course we know that you also helped to brighten some peoples' lives that we came across along the road. Be it at the petrol stations, restaurants, while waiting for the traffic lights turn green, while walking on the malls or running around the spacious pathways and foyers of your favorite masjid. We hope that you will always be the first to give, to spread kindness, be the first to offers comfort, and grow up being a person beloved by Allah and Rasulullah.

By now, your physical growth have slowed down, not as fast as before at least. But your speech have become clearer each and every day. I had a good time talking to you. Its refreshing to hear your nonstop singing and your random countings, ABCs, Alif Ba Ta,s and quran memorisation XD And its especially funny that you use my mother language, Dusun, in some occasions too. Lets just use it when we're at kampong okay? Haha.

By the way, after what happened recently, it really felt as if Allah "got me" this time. I was always reminded before but then became complacent again and again, kept on forgetting my true purpose again and again.. So that's why this time I pray that Allah got me, got us, in every moment of my life, our lives. Lets continue on upgrading our relationship with Allah together, okay?

Love,
Dad.
