Letter to Erin 20150507

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

Hi there, my beautiful Erin.  How are you feeling today?  I pray you are feeling healthy and confident.  My Mom's went through knee surgery today, so I pretty much spent the whole day at the hospital.  Mostly just sitting around, waiting for them to finish their work.  So I just turned on the mp3 player, and went to sleep.  At this point it seems the surgery was a success, alhamdulillah.  My Mom has a nice hospital room: a private room with her own toilet.  How classy.  Like the Ritz.

I hope you are maintaining your own medical connections, because you never know, we may have to import doctors for you.  My parents use government hospitals, mostly because my sister-in-law has a high position in their local hierarchy.  As for me, I have to self-medicate.  I've been doing so for a long time already, mostly because of hidden enemies.  Paranoid?  Maybe.  After all, prevention is better than compensative lawsuits.  But my routine isn't that special, just a lot of prayer, prevention, balance, and early detection.  Of course I can't force that on you too much because you are a foreign wife in the Public Eye, so you would have to suffer the hospital, hopefully not 3rd or 4th class.  But that is all conditional on my being able to afford you the best married life inshaAllah.  Never expect the Public Eye to come to your rescue.  The Public Eye is there to gloat and be entertained by our suffering, then act indignant after we die.  God is the One Who protects and saves. 

Your intelligence is valuable to me, and I adore that about you.  So please learn to be as independent as possible of the global medical system.  And pray.  Good health is truly a gift from God.  So praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.  Erin I love you, and I need you.
