…and the week goes on
A full weekend this has been indeed. My niece came to stay the night with me Friday and her and my daughter had a wonderful time. The next day, Saturday, I received a call from my cousin and the news was that she was in labor at the hospital. Her two girls needed a place to stay while she had the baby, I picked them up that morning at nine or so. They are still here.
It is nice to have them here because I haven’t seen them in a while, and they are two very special girls. I use to spoil the oldest of the two when she was a baby. I gave her everything and anything she wanted and I had. This was years ago back in Philadelphia. She was my world back then, the only baby I was close to, and the only person who really seemed to depend and love me dearly. Children grow up so fast. Now, all these years later, she is so much older and so mature.
My neice went back home last night and now I’m waiting for these two little ones to be on their way (smile) so my world can go back to normal.
Today I have a website to complete and turn the url into my professor by midnight, and an essay to start and turn in tomorrow midnight. sounds like it will be a nice rest of the weekend and busy week.
I recieved an email from a sister that I’ve known for some time today. She sent me one that seemed to say she wants to get to know me better. I think that is wonderful, I’ve always admired her. She has a lot going for her, a beautiful African American Muslimah who has been married for years. Who gave birth to two boys (years ago) and is in very good shape and is working on her second degree. I love to see African American Muslimah’s being successful in this life while attempting to prepare for the hereafter as well.
Of course no person, who is not blessed in that way, can see inside of another person. But from where I’m standing she seems to be a good sister. May Allah bless her and her family.
