💌 #DearMamajee Adamdidam,
Eid-ul-Fitr this year is extra special for our family cos it falls on your most special day, #SundayWithAdam 💛 Even though we are celebrating Eid separately this year, we managed to get together virtually last night to make a special prayer for you - us in Birmingham, Dr Auntie in Manchester, and Dadajee & Dadijee in Malaysia.
And you know what, Mamajee? Dadajee and Dadijee took a selfie and sent it to us first thing in the morning. @drauntie.uk said that you would have been so proud of them, cos the lovebirds finally managed to take a perfect selfie with sweet, wide smiles - MashaAllah! And you would have been proud of @drauntie.uk too cos she’s definitely been super-strong, and she hasn’t shed any tears today yet! And you would have been happy to see Mrs Mom putting her favourite red lipstick on today. And of course, she didn’t forget to put on the perfume you bought for her.
And do you remember your wish to see us all wearing the same jubbah as you on Eid? Well, this year, we’ve all decided to make your wish come true! I chose to wear your favourite white jubbah, just the way you like it. And Ali insisted on wearing your old jubbah from your childhood, and he told everyone to call him #AdamdidamJunior. He even asked if he looked as handsome as Mamajee - bless him! And you would be surprised to see what your favourite little girl was wearing…do you still remember that jubbah, Mamajee? Does it look familiar to you? Yes, it’s your special jubbah from when you were little! She requested to wear it since it was a bit too big for Ali. I bet you must be smiling from ear to ear, looking at your beautiful Fatimah!
And of course, our Eid today would be incomplete without Mr Dad’s special menu! He cooked Chicken Kuzi with Roti Jala - yummy! And @drauntie.uk sent us not one, but two cakes - Nutella chocolate cake and Red Velvet cake. Alhamdulillah, even though we can’t be together this year, and you are not here either, somehow, our whole family feels complete in our own way. At least the most important things weren’t missing from our family…LOVE and Allah’s blessings!
Your first nephew,
