In the seven months and twenty-two days since my mother’s soul returned to her Creator, I lost both my words and my footing. When the sparkling snow finally descends, I wish for it to blanket me in its silent and numbing embrace.
SubhanAllah you write so eloquently. Keep writing May Allah Swt accept her into the gardens of Jannah and May we all unite with our nearest and dearest when our jobs are done here for that happy ending Ameen Yaa rabb Ameen ❤️
Thank you Aiysha for this beautiful and evocative read! It demands to be read slow and repeatedly, and I’m grateful for the gift of your writing. Much love and duas xox
Beautiful Aiysha, so lovely to read your gorgeous words as you remember your Mom today. She is a role model for everything I want to be for my kids. Although I didn't know her well, I feel like I have gotten to know her so much through you, and feel blessed for the opportunity. Happy but kind of Sad New Year! May the year ahead be blessed with more of your writing. ❤️
