How have you been? Hope that all is well out there. You are constantly in our prayers. Even though you have been away for one and a half years it still feels that you are around. And as much as we miss you but we don't feel sad or lost. It just feel like you have gone on a trip and will be coming back later. But of course you are not. But it does feel something like that.
Anyway, just to update you on the going ons with the family. First of all Hanna has graduated with flying colours. You are now a proud father of a first class honours Telecomunication Engineer. I can just see your face beamimg with pride. And to put icing on the cake she has also gotten a job in a good company. Her first real job! (Whisper: actually she is annoyed that I termed it as her first real job. Actually she has worked for a couple of months in another company before that but I only consider it asan attachment, for training purpose. She was not given a full pay anyway. Only an allowance. So its not a "real" job, is it? Hee...)
She is really happy and grateful that she landed the job that she wanted out of all the interviews that she went for. And its not too far from the house either. Allah has been so kind and we feel so blessed in deed. Alhamdulillah. She has worked really hard. She really deserves the best!
And Syaza has completed her 5th semester. Her final exam was just over and now she is enjoying the semester break at home. Frankly I was kind of worried for a while. She has developed what the doctor term as anxiety attack a few month after you left. And she lost a whole 5 kg body weight in one month the first time that she went through the experience. But alhamdulillah, once we have identified the problem, we worked on the solution. Even though she looks tough on the outside, I guess its not easy for a 21 year old to suddenly lose one of her main pillars of strength. But don't worry. She is managing it well and now it happens less and less. I know you worry that she would face a tough time in UM but insyaAllah with out prayers and her hard work insyaAllah she will pull through.
I have also something else to tell you about what I have done for myself. After I left TM I had in mind to be a Coach. No, no. Not a netball coach. A Professional Coach. So I enrolled in a program last October 2014 and now (drumroll please...) I am a certified Professional Coach! Aren't you also proud of your wifey? Actually, I am proud of myself too. When I enrolled for the program, I didn't realise the amount of work that we had to do to get the certification. The hard part was the practicum and the verbatim. I wasn't the only one in the class who felt that we may not make it to the end. But alhamdulillah most of us did. So now I am looking forward to helping people to achieve their dreams or help them to organise their life. InsyaAllah.
So, don't worry too much about us here. We are all ok, with the blessing from Allah. And our girls especially have grown to be such fine young adults. They still remember all the advices and little-life-instructions from you while you were around. They really miss the father-daughter bonding time over french fries at Syed on the week end. I constantly pray that they will be blessed with success and happiness in this world and the hereafter. And I know that you do too.
Meanwhile you take care. We will catch up with you another time. We do miss you.
May Allah bless your soul and grant you jannah.
Aameen.
Aamiin.
