Letter to Erin 20150717

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

Hi Erin!  The fasting month is officially over!  No more staying up all night.  I don't know why that happened to me, but now I can stay up late.  That's what I'm going to do tonight, and eat lots of snacks.  I'm not one for celebrating public holidays.  I think it's because I have to work everyday, but my parents love the Eid.  I prefer Ramadan over the Eid.  The routine tomorrow is that after the Eid prayer in the morning, I hang out at my parents' house and eat all day.  Since tomorrow is also Friday, there's also the Friday prayer to attend in the afternoon.  But otherwise, it's the same old day for me.  I think I'll cut grass over at your house inshaAllah.  Maybe I'll have time to burn the compost.  It's been hot and dry, so maybe all that vegetation has dried up enough to burn.

You must be busy nowadays.  I hope you're not getting too caught up in the competition of it all.  You are MY girl, so that makes you the most beautiful girl in the world to me.  I want you to be nice to your fashion designers, and treat their clothes with great respect.  Can you do that for me?  I love you, and I need you.
