Dear Khairee,

Hope this finds you well.  My one and only Boy!  I still remember you like to hide in the laundry basket from Nigeria! Ha...HA...

This is your second semester!  Do you best and always trust and believe in yourself. Focus in you studies!

Don't overthink the situation especially your assignment!  When it reaches to a stage you don't know what to do, take deep breath and try to list and write it down one by one things you thought so that you can get it more organised.  This should help you see more clearly.  Better still, read a book!  anybook if it can help you be more focus and reflect.

Always turn to Allah and talk to Him! Make dua with commitment!  In Shaa Allah, our plans are the best!

berkhatan (circumcision)

As salam,

That was the year 2007.  Big day for Khairee and Affan.  The day they become a man.  It was school holidays. That was the time the the boys age between 8 -12 will be going to the hospital for the "circumcision" in our country.  We plan to have Khairee's done at the hospital near our place.  But eventually, it was done in the hospital at the capital city with his cousin Affan.  We decided to go for the full anestatic as well as for Affan.

Looking at the two boys, they were not afraid and they were busy playing with their gameboys.  As usual when they meet, always talking about video games etc.  Well, at least it kept the circumcision off their minds.

They took turn to go to the operating theatre.  Affan went in first then Khairee.  I am sure you boys will remember it!

Now both of you are in Universities.  Khairee in 2nd year while Affan in 1st year.  May you both be successful in your life in this dunia and hereafter.  Aamiin.

But in my eyes, Khairee is still my baby.  I think that is what every mother's feel no matter how old the children are.

Well boys, your future is still around the corner waiting for you to make your foot print....not a long way....
