Letter to Julia 20140212


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

When Noah built his ark, he remarked to his people that if they have a problem with him that he commemorate the Signs of Allah, yet he puts his trust in Allah.  He challenged them to plot against him, carry out their plot, and not give him a break.  But if they turn back, he only asks his reward from Allah.  So they rejected Noah, but God saved him and those with him in the Ark, and God made them inherit the earth while God overwhelmed the others, who rejected God's Signs, in the flood.  Does that sound similar to our ark?  Casa de Julia?

I've been jumping around like a flea on hot concrete lately, so I slowed down yesterday.  I made a batch of friec noodles very slowly, slept a lot, then cut the grass around Casa de Julia inshaAllah.  As you know, poor little Floofy is in heat right now.  She reminds me a little of Phantom, my kitty during my last 11 years in America.  The difference is that Floofy has plenty of access to male cats, but somehow they don't approach her, even though she's a very pretty kitty.  Even the long-legged tomcat is nowhere in sight.  She goes back and forth from my little house to Casa de Julia inshaAllah crying her little heart out.  I feel like sitting out there and doing a duet with her.  I long so much for my Julia and Erin.

Julia, you are so beautiful and sophisticated, I love you so much, I am honored so much and so grateful for your love.  Erin, you are my cute little sweetheart.  It is your cuteness and sweetness that I adore about you.  Please take good care of yourselves, I beg of you.  Until the time comes when I can embrace you with my love and whatever strength that Allah has given me.  To my wives inshaAllah.  I love you, I love you.
