blog plugs
not that i have a readership of legions or anything, but more people should read samra's blog... she has many moving insights that are well worth sharing and i'm glad she's blogging!
also, my dad has added more posts about his recent amazing trip to england, india and pakistan, during which he visited his birthplace and childhood home (in sagar) after more than 60 years, and traveled to these three countries by himself at the age of 73 despite his hearing problems, and then came home and started BLOGGING about it! think about it - to blog, you have to know 1) how to type, 2) how to use a computer in general, 3) how to use windows, 4) how to browse the internet, 5) and all the other technical thingies... he has taught himself all of this pretty much post-retirement (well, i taught him some of it). to me it is an incredible blessing to be sharing the internet with my father :) and to have his stories available to read online like this. please visit when you get a chance!
today is a hohum cold day. musa had yogurt for breakfast (he almost never says no to yogurt and i didn't feel like fighting a battle this morning - yesterday he had no solid food at all other than yogurt and a couple of bites of this and that). i mean yobaby by the way.
i have this fantasy - i don't know why it excites me so! - of taking musa to the beach this summer. i don't know, maybe it will make me really feel like a parent, or make us feel like a real family of our own - taking the kids to the beach. but i can't WAIT for the summer inshallah to do that! i have this picture in my head of my son - by that time walking inshallah - sitting in the sand wearing only shorts, with his hair wet, playing or making faces or something. it will be so much fun! he is subhanallah the greatest blessing in my life, more than i could have ever imagined. i have small dreams where he is concerned - no great ambitions for his future, although of course i hope he will love learning and do well out of his own desire. just this happy-family picture - just happiness, safety and health, and good character - constant awareness of his Lord. better than me inshallah. ameen.
