I was meant to return to work on Tuesday but have been prevented by sheer exhaustion and a cold/flu bug thingymajig. I slept until 5pm on Tuesday, 12:15pm Wednesday and when I woke up yesterday felt great, alhamdulillah, hoping to get back to work today. So, what happened? After hitting my bister last night, not THAT late, the first sound I hear is Ammi calling out "*Epoppie* Paunay nao ho gai hain, kaam pay nahin jaana?" to which I reply, "NnNn" and fall back in sleepdom. Whoosh...aankh opens...it's 2pm. GULP. And now it's 3pm on Thurs. Babysis is probably on her way over to Chicago for her Valima and the beginning of a new life. I haven't been able to stop thinking about her and my time with her most loving family over the last 10 days. The family that made me feel like one of their own, that took such good care of me, that did all that they could to make me feel at home. It isn't often that you come across people with so much sincere love to offer and I ask Allah swt to accept all their duaas and grant them happiness and success in this life and the next, ameen.
