When you ask my little girl her
name, she says “my name is Abdallah T. Aisha” very military like, so adorable
too! She’s going to nursery two when the new session starts and she turned five
years today. I’m absolutely beaming from ear to ear! May Allah preserve and
guide her throughout her life, ameen.
It seems only a couple of weeks ago
when I first held her in my arms at 5 days old and I've been hooked and
dragged along day by day by her natural charm. I never get tired of telling the
stories, never! But, there are new stories to tell now and sadly I'm missing being a part of those stories, even though Mommy and the Major try to fill me
in now and then, experiencing it firsthand would have been so much better and memorable.
Still, I’ll have to make do with the stories.
Today is not a day to moan or
complain it's a day to celebrate and thank Allah for my baby girl that told me
point blank she's no longer a baby! Today we mark five years of Aisha Abdallah
*releasing balloons and confetti, cheering!!! Kids really grow up fast
when you’re not watching! Lol it’s a bit alarming I must say for I clearly
remember me telling her not to grow up again after she turned one. She didn't
even pretend to listen! I’m mega glad she didn't. Hearing her talk and laugh,
watching her eat and smile, seeing how much of her person she is becoming makes
me so elated. She has no time for nonsense, bosses her older brother about and
their dad even said she sometimes makes him cry (really LMAO) the girl has a
lot of her father in her! But at the same time, he says Aisha always loves
being with her brother and his absence makes her worry and begin to look for
him. Whatever she gets, she makes sure her brother equally gets and if there’s
only one she shares hers with him. Now, that’s me in her! I have to be sincere, I love that combination; tough yet
caring. She is molding her person very beautifully, Masha Allah, Alhamdulillah.
Mommy told me a story of a time
when the Major came home with chocolates for the kids and she asked her for a
piece from hers but because she didn't want to share, Aisha turned to her dad
and said “Daddy, why didn't you buy for Mommy as well? You should go get her
one because mine is almost finished!” I know, very smart little girl; got out
of sharing by shifting the responsibility to her dad. Have I mentioned I love
her since I started this story? Well I do. I love Miss Aisha Abdallah Tahir not
to the moon and back, but for all eternity. She is a rare germ, infecting our
lives with her vibrant nature and love.
Today, the 17th July,
2014 falls the same day as the 20th Ramadan, 1435 AH again like last year, her
birthday also fell in Ramadan. And again, this year like last year (but not for the
same reasons), I won’t be able to celebrate her birthday with her. I had so
much planned to do with her in less than 24 hours! We were going to watch
FROZEN while I made her hair, we were going to take pictures, hug, kiss, and
probably have a little mother-daughter-misunderstanding then hug again. I was
going to put on her new dress, socks and shoes, then take more pictures. Sing
the happy birthday song, blow the candles out then cut the cake, and dance with
her in my arms. I was going to make up for the long months of not having seeing
her. I guess I will just wait till when they return to celebrate a belated
birthday! It’s never too late or too early to celebrate the child (or person)
you love and boy do I love little Miss Abdallah!!!
I’m not particularly sad because
I know her dad will still celebrate her… he knows the birthday drill!!! *wink.
Alhamdulillah for another wonderful year of our little girl, Aisha!!!
