Qur'an 20160615

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

37.  They say, "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?"  Say, "Allah has certainly power to send down a sign, but most of them understand not."

(The Cattle 6:37)

My dearest, precious, sensitive heart

As I reflect upon all those letters I wrote, I realize that I have failed.  Again.  Not just in becoming wealthy enough to marry and support my family.  I failed to prepare you against the monster of mass media.  Even though I knew this moment of truth would happen to you long ago, how could you understand something that you've never encountered?  Would you take my word for it?  No, that's not logical.  You had to experience it for yourself.

Now that you know what it is, I'm asking you to let me handle the monster, and for you to just be my girl.  Just be my girl.  Allah has prepared me for this work, and will aid me inshaAllah.  I can't give up on you, I just can't do it.  So you please don't give up on yourself.  Don't destroy yourself with booze or drugs.  Take heart, and please pray.  I love you and I need you.

Snap out of the gloom, Mrs. Global

You have a responsibility to those who need you to be optimistic.  Plus it's affecting your appearance.  Have you gone running lately?  You need to go running.  Get those endorphins pumping.

I love you.

I bought a white rose for my Mom's birthday

Yeah, my mother is a Gemini too, whatever that means.

Erin, you are beautiful

and you are loved.  Many people tell you that every day, including me.  Which might make you numb, but don't you dare lose you self-esteem.

Malaysia has gun control laws.  While it won't protect you from illegal guns, the number and the percentage of gun deaths are significantly lower than the US.  While one can legally own a firearm by obtaining a license, if you have a gun without a license then it's the hangman's noose as penalty.
