Taybah 23rd August 2021

There’s so much that’s happened, so much you’d be proud of. I wish you could be here, to smile, laugh, discuss & hear them. Jibran’s graduation, new job and new hairstyle all things I wish you could’ve been here to witness and be part of. Prianka’s new house & job, Maryam’s funny topics, all that Bhaiyah’s achieved you’d be so proud of! I see your figure at her dining table, the joy you’d feel to be in such peaceful surroundings. Your two grandsons Al-Yasa and Musa, their antics and alikeness, how they would drive you bonkers but you could do nothing but love them. Thoma and Afzal, have had their challenges- with all that Allah has handed them they keep pushing through. Although your love and teaching keeps them alive your presence would mean strength and confidence in the ride getting by. And finally mum- the love of your life, she’s not changed much, Asda is still her second home and her feet still need repair but all that would be a whole lot better if you were here. We’ve gone through nearly a two year pandemic, what you would do if you lived through it. You would’ve enjoyed, everyone working from home, it so iconic but I’m glad your not here or else I’m sure you would’ve panicked!
