Sixteen years ago, today..
mood: =)
craving: a nice big juicy apple
Salam Alikom to my sisters in Islam and a big
to all my non-muslim followers and readers....
Years go by so fast and you look back and can't believe where the time went. I did that today. I looked at my daughter and was shocked to have seen the date and remember sixteen years ago, I was due with my precious little girl. I'm happy to say, in these almost (5 more days) sixteen years, she has been the best little thing that has happened to me. She's my daughter, best friend, helper. I'm very blessed.
She seizes to amaze me everyday of her life. Her bright smile and even her corny ways make my heart skip a beat. She's gentle, kind and so very shy and at the same time, she knows who she is and knows what she wants in life. She makes me proud. She's adapted so very well here in UAE, as she says, goes with the flow.
Since, as Muslims,we don't celebrate birthdays, and never have since I've become a Muslim, there will be no party for her. But, that doesn't mean that I don't thank God for her. I thank Him every single day while I pray and while I'm making dua though out the day (supplicating.) Birthdays are over-rated anyways; a lot of times even your closest family members forget the date you were born, and you end up feeling really bad, just like other holidays.
May God bless my daughter every single day of her life and give her a good life, let her grow up worshiping our Rubb and let her be the best Muslimah she can be ameen
final whisper: I love you, baby girl

Masha Allah. Allah yehfadh-ha for you.
So cute!
Say hi to her ^^
May Allah protect ur daughter and give her happiness in her Life :)
Aww that was so sweet. Happy birthday to your lovely daughter.
But why don't you celebrate it? Nothing big just a cake and a gift would be nice. I know they say it's haram and whatever. But I don't believe it is. Never mind me.
May Allah grant you and your baby girl all the happiness in the world XOXO.
Chic on the Cheap
I love you both
Give her a hug for me
awww Mashallah for having such a wonderful daughter!! she is a great young woman who does help you out so much and is a very good big sister Mashallah :)
May Allah keep you both close and help her achieve all of her dreams!
She is such a blessing and I pray that only the best happens to her in her life Ameen.
I also ask myself, where has the years gone? it was like yesterday when she was 1 and starting to walk and say few words, and now they are getting ready to go to college and Allah knows what's next!!
May Allah SWT protect them and furnish their comming days with happiness, reda, iman, and success. Ammen
Happy birthday Amber. I can tell from your writings that you are an intelligent and thoughtful person, mashaAllah. 16 years ago you changed your momma's life for the better. Always remember to continue to love and cherish her! Know that we love you for being true to yourself and for simply being the naturally amazing you! =D

Don't worry about her as they said "like mother like daughter "
You taught her how to take the right road,you can let her go now and be sure that she will take it inshallah
