Letter to Erin 20160321

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

Hello there, my beautiful Sweetheart!  How are you feeling today?  Are you being entertained by my parents?  My Mom has a great sense of humor, but I don't know if you would understand it at times.  Every Sunday morning, I clean my parents' bedroom.  Let's say a prayer for our parents: Ya Allah, have mercy on our parents as they cherished us in childhood.

Ah, tea!  I love iced tea.  Best drink in the world.  No contest.  Tea is such a natural drink, it must have some health benefits.  I heard that tea is good for the eyes.  I enjoyed iced tea with my dinner.  Pizza again!  Oh my God, I'm eating pizza every day!  Is that normal?  Is there something wrong with me?  But I love pizza!  Please don't hate me!  Today is sausage and basil.  My favorite toppings.  Home made halal beef sausage, my own recipe.

I cleaned my fish bowl today.  No, I didn't use any soap.  The rocks were all dark with gook, but I couldn't use any chemicals to clean them, only water.  But I was able to write and draw pictures on the rocks.  The fish bowl is nice and shiny right now, almost sparkling.  The big fish seem unused to the clean water, but the little fish seem to like it.  The big fish just congregate together at the top of the water.  After I cleaned the fish bowl, I took a sip of iced tea.  Tasted like pond water.

Hey Precious, please get lots of rest and eat properly, OK?  Please pray.  I'm not there to help protect you, so you must do your best to take sweet care of yourself.  Always know that I love you and I need you.

Qur'an 20160321

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

84.  Say, "We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, and that given to Moses, Jesus, and the Prophets from their Lord.  We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to Allah do we bow our will."

(The Family of Imran 3:84)
