To my daughter Fatimah,
It’s hard to believe you will be 7 years old today. I don’t want you to grow up. I want you to be my little princess forever. The day you were born seems like yesterday. I cried again like a baby. You were beautiful and innocent. I remember holding you for the first time, your eyes were looking at me full of love and I was looking at your mother’s eyes falling deeper in love with her.
Your mother and I have been waiting for this moment for 7 years and we knew we were lucky and blessed. We prayed for you everyday for 9 months and we haven’t stopped since. And my dream came true, I became a father again, this time to a little girl!! What more can I ask. Because of you, I loved your mother 10 times more than what I thought was possible. I can’t thank her enough for what she’s been through, carrying you for 9 months and delivering you to this world.
I learned more about fatherhood when we had you. You taught me time is the most important thing and being present when you first explored the world was the most precious joy of being a father. Those first weeks with you at home were challenging but exciting. Being a father to a little baby again wasn’t easy.
Seeing you develop and grow in front of me made me proud. I was there when you cried because you were scared of the dark, hearing your first laugh, watching your first step, losing your first tooth, and I won’t forget our first cooking video together - “jeput pisey”. I was proud of all your achievements in school, the good manners and your way with your siblings. When your Mamajee passed, you were at your lowest, and I was there to soothe your tears. My heart burst with pride when you came back stronger from these moments.
So, happy birthday my sweetheart Fatimah. May Allah bless you and protect you from the evil eye. Know this, from the bottom of my heart, I love you!! ♥️ I would climb and shout this from the mountain top near our home, but I’m afraid of heights, “gayat gitu”.
Luv,
Mr Dad
