Five years ago tomorrow my beautiful mother passed away. Insha'allah may Allah grant her Jannat-el Firdous (Highest Heaven). Although it's hard at times (especially this time of year) I think of the happy moments we shared together; the laughs, the hugs and overall joy. She was truly a great, genuine and giving person. When she converted to Islam many many years ago, she picked a name she loved years prior to her conversion out of an encyclopedia. Khadijah. She wanted very much to live up to that name as best as she could. Alhumdulillah I think she did the name justice. :)
Happy holidays! Ameen. Lots of love to you and your family during this reflective time. I'm sure your mother is watching over you now with such happiness.
