Family

When I arrived from Hong Kong, all my kids where there to greet me. Fatimah was very excited jumping up and down shouting Ayah! Ayah! I was a wonderful surprise to see all of them. Although it was only a short trip, I miss them so much. My thoughts are always with them. Amir told me Aiman was asking everyday when will Ayah be back. I was so surprised, even though I am a bit stern with him, he misses me.

I always treasure the time that I have with them, especially after work. I would usually spend about an hour or two by just sitting and lazing around them. I checked up on their homework, make sure the have dinner or even just playing board games.

In the morning I, after wuduq, I would wake up the Aiman and Imran for prayers. After Prayers they will take their bath and I would laze around sleepily. After that I is my turn to bath. Next I would wake Zayd up for his bath. I will wash him up and help him to be ready for school. If Fatimah wakes up, she too will take her bath with me.

at about 7.30 am, I send zayd to kindergarden, aiman and imran to school. These are the times that I cherish most. Quality time with my kids. We do not have enough time and they grow very fast and we might not realize it. That is why I make a point to give them a hug and a peck in the cheek every opportunity I get.
