Letter to Julia 20130627

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

When was the last time I saw you, my sweet Julia?  I think that was almost 2 years ago, and it was a TV show.  A fashion show.  And here I am today, waiting for Allah to give me the means to go and get you.  I don't want to give you my poverty, Julia.  I want to care for you, and give you happiness.  I want to shower you with love, for I love you.

It is a routine that I try to maintain here in patience inshaAllah, because we don't want our family and children to live in chaos.  Right?  It is for your and their sake that it be as mundane as possible.  No touring, no living out of a suitcase.  Despite the hugeness of the situation, it is the mundane and the routine that you must desire, expect, and pray for Julia.  We must try our best to slow things down.  We don't want our loved ones to live in chaos.  So please be patient, my Julia.  What God has given us is best.  Other people try to change what God has given out of selfish dissatisfaction and envy, only to be worse off.  We have seen the Signs, and the favors that God has presented to us, so there is no turning back.  Ya Allah, thank You for the Grace that You have bestowed upon us.  Thank you for your love, my dearest Julia.
