No, don’t get excited. I’m not announcing it. I’m just thinking about the preparations. I never really thought of preparing for it when I was younger. Eid was just the prayer after Ramadan…and maybe a brunch. Other than that, I didn’t actually do much. Now, with a family of four, Eid is an event. The kids are getting presents, decorations will go up, and parties will be attended. Having a Muslim family really does mean something special. I thank Allah repeatedly for being blessed with a practicing wife and two amazing daughters.
My advice to any young brothers out there: when it comes time to choose a wife, think deeply about it. Certain physical and even personality traits will come and go, but a sister who is serious about the Deen, someone who has a connection with Allah that cannot be broken, that is priceless and timeless.
umm are you saying that I’m no longer attractive??? (smile) I love you so much!!!
You’re even more beautiful than the day I met you, mashaAllah.
