How fast time flies ποΈ
Just like yesterday, he was on his knees 𦡠with a diamond ring π on a tiny cushion β€οΈ, with pleading eyes awaiting a yes. π₯Ί
Also been waiting for the moment since foreverπΈ, I jumped on the toes and screamed yes, as loud as my voice could take. π²
Almost as soon as he pulled the perfectly fitting ringπ on my ring finger, we were dancing ππΊ through the crowd on our wedding day π, amidst smiles and laughs and little bit of tears π
ππ’
Away to our new home π π‘'wink'.
..Soon, "hey, guess what?. We're expecting babies!!."
Yay too excited to complain about weird cravings π€€π and mood swings π‘π’ and aches π° and little argumentsβ
How time flies
Eight boy to us πππ€π€
How sweet they look π₯Ίπ₯° all chubby and adorable π with little hair and tiny body and Heart warming β€οΈπ giggles and laughs. But also, tantrums π and smelly poops π© and spilling Landry ππ. We recite the Qur'an everyday on their little heads π and ask Allah to watch over them.
Hey, the kids are now toddlers ππ₯±
We're blowing foaming bubbles π in the park ποΈ and pushing them on the swings π₯Ίπ meeting their little friends and their parents π« exchanging diets π₯π₯. We start to teach them about Islam πΏ and Allah π€²and the prophets π§ and how to pray πππ₯°
Now, they're older π₯Ίπ
We're arguing about socks 𧦠and lost pencils ποΈ and torn notebooksπ, and no lying or swearing. Now they have enemies they can't stop talking about ππwe tell them to be nice ππ and not to fight πͺπ
Oh, how time flies ποΈ
Oh, how big they've grown, they are almost taller than I am π but not up to you π, we're talking about food π, who eats the most π€ ,and chores π§Ή, who does what π½οΈ and what, trim the garden...wash the dishes...and the cars.
Oh they're now adolescent ππ§
I start to tease them about growing beards and deep voices πand who has a crush on who π€and no girlfriends yet!
Little problems πΏand strugglesπ€₯ show up, they try to grow up πΎfix things themselvesπΆπΆπΆπΆπΆπΆπΆπΆ but mom and dad to the rescueπͺπ. We remind them to turn to Allah π for everything, in happiness π and in struggle. We let them know we're here for them even though it's painful watching them grow π€₯π€₯
How time flies ποΈ. Life's been good. We have no one to thank but God.
Now we're old and wrinkling. We spend more time together, recalling the past ππ€£ and say Alhamdulillah to everything.
