I don’t like to be pampered. But if you insist, I can’t say no because it will be rude. I don’t want to teach my children to be rude to others. So that’s my quote of the day!
Thank you Omar Mukhtar for taking care of me. May Allah bless you, my son. And I will stay sick until Friday night, so you have to take out the garbage and the bin. Poor me! 😜

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

Dear my son Omar Mukhtar,
I can’t believe how time flies. I remember holding you the day you were born when your feet were just the same size as my two fingers. I was the happiest man on earth. Now we can share the same shoe size (as long as you clean & put them back after you wear mine).
I am still the happiest & proudest man on earth. I still love you as much as I loved you when you were born. You were still a shining light in my life & I shared your joy & triumphed with you when you succeeded.
But the harder part was letting you feel pain because every pain in your life will be a pain in mine too. Son, I won’t stop guiding you, providing a roadmap for you, and being the rock you know will always be there as long as I can. My first job is not to be your friend; it is to be your dad, but I still so desire to be your friend.
We have had some rough times. I want to thank you for helping me & Mrs Mom throughout those times. You were a blessing from Allah. I’m sorry you had to go through them. But I can’t tell you how much I’m proud of you for being there helping around the house & looking after Fatimah & Ali. You’ve sacrificed a lot for our family.
One thing that I’ve learnt from our difficult times is that while you may not understand the purpose of why it’s entered your life, that time can transform you into an even more beautiful creation than you already are. You are who you were, who you are now, and who you will become.
What I want you to know is that I love you so much. I always have, and I always will. Just as there is not a way to make Allah stop loving you, there’s nothing anybody can do to take away my love for you.
Happy 14th birthday, son! You are now a man beyond your age. Keep it that way! May Allah bless you, protect your Iman & keep you safe from the Fitna in the world nowadays.
Luv,
Your cheesiest dad & don’t care!

p/s: I know you might think I’m the cheesiest dad for posting this on social media (not daddy cool 😎) but I just want to show you that I’m not embarrassed to show the world how much I love you & how proud of you I am. And I don’t care what others think about this post as long as I get it to you ♥️
