Letter to Julia 20121208

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Hello there, my beautiful Julia!  How are you feeling?  Today is my parents' 52nd anniversary.  They've been married to each other for 52 years!  I'll buy them some ice cream on my way home.  They are kind of difficult to shop for, because they don't really like anything except for what they get for themselves.  As a couple, they don't seem to have similar interests.  My Mom is a sugar addict, while my Dad is a chain smoker.  Their other tastes and habits are equally divergent.  Their only common interests are lying in bed with each other, and eating rice with mixed entrees (nasi campur).  Ya Allah, thank you for keeping my parents alive.  Please give my parents long, happy, healthy lives, forgive their sins, allow them to enter heaven together, and have mercy on my parents as they cherished me in childhood.

The Internet cafe was out of order last Thursday, so I didn't get to blog.  Please forgive me.  But I am so looking forward to seeing you in the fashion show.  And our show!  Remember, our goal is to slow down and enjoy our lives together.  InsyaAllah.

Please do not be fooled by hypocrites and disbelievers who appear united against us.  Listen again, and you will hear lies and dissent among themselves.  Look again, and you will see fear.

Hi Julia, how are you doing?  I pray you are feeling great.  I didn't take the cat to the vet yesterday.  But I did go to the vet.  The last time I took that cat to the vet, the vet said that she had mouth ulcers, and prescribed antibiotics and some pills to reduce the swelling.  So I just renewed the prescription.  She does have a broken tooth though, and it's obvious that she's suffering.  So I also bought some Listerine to help disinfect her mouth.

I'm looking forward to seeing the latest Victoria's Secret fashion show.  I want to see you most of all.  I always look forward to seeing you, even though I am unable to go searching for you amidst the lies of the Internet.  You are my beloved Julia, and I cherish you so much.
