12 hours later …. New Soul. on November 17, 2009 @ 23:58
Tuesday, 20th of January, 2009, 17:00, a dear dear dear soul left this life after years of struggling with illness.
Tuesday, 17th of November, 2009, 16:00, a dear new soul came to shine our lives with innocence and warmth.
That January day, I have lost a father, but this November day, after 11 months, I have gained a nephew. God takes and gives in the same year, but if only ….. One of my fathers strongest wishes wass to see a grandchild of his, and here came the day. Father, I know you are in a much better place, hopefully with Mother, but I wish both of you were here to see this memorable day in our little/growing family.
My sister has given birth to a healthy baby boy, we named him Taher, after his grandfather, other grandfather who also left this life. I only hope that little T would be anything like his grandfather, great man, great soul great heart.
To sum the story of T’s existence, I got a call from his father at 3:10 AM telling me to come to the hospital, 13 hours later, little T came to life. Welcome T.
Loads of love,
Auntie Shafi. =)
PS: The last time that I cried like I did when I first saw you is when my father passed away, funny how emotions differ but get out in the same path.

Wow what a beautiful babyboy! I hope you feel really gifted with this miracle.
Babys ARE miracles, when my niece had a daughter, she let me held it, and the little girl grabbed my finger and did not let go.
I hope you will have lots of nice moments knowing he’s around

hey shifaa!
I can’t say I know what it is you’re going through because honestly I don’t…I don’t think I’m as emotionally as strong as you either :/ you’ve kept your faith after all the terrible things and now things are starting to look up! I’m reaaally happy for you….
you’re right. god takes and gives…..it’s just hard for us to sometimes realize that but I’m glad you did
this blog is so touching :’(
congrats “aunt shafi”
wallah, tistahleen kel el kheir

Congratulations! It’s strange to see how the circle of life works. The few wonders of living in this world, I guess. So, how have you been lately? =)

Awww cute nephew (: Isn’t it just nice to be an aunt? xD I sure love it!
omg, I’m so late at replying but I’ll just go ahead and do it even though you may have forgotten what it was about xD
lmao, I think I’m going to ask my mom about that first
haha.
Well it wasn’t a real badminton match, just my friend and I playing for fun (: And good exercise! But we have only been there that one time(!) because then I was sick one week and then she was sick last week xD But hopefully we can play this Wednesday too ’cause it was a lot of fun (: okay, we had a little match and I won the first time and then she won the second time so we’re at the same level.
I’m in love with this one too (yours) :p It’s soooo hard to make one I like for my own site x[ I’m not sure about my new one.. I like the old one better.. But I needed change!!!!!!!!!!!

*DUN DUN DUN DUUUUN* Good luck with the new layout! Can’t wait to see it (: <3

Do you believe in reincarnation? I partially do.
Imagine your nephew had some of your dad’s unique characteristics
That would be cool.

Such a wonderful joy ^^

Hey, Shifaa! Thanks for the comment. That’s cool that you’re going for a degree in writing, too! Maybe we’ll do a co-booksigning someday!
