for my angel...

dear C,

i always look passed your mistakes and try to see the good things that you have done. i am thankful for your existence every time i pray to Allah. in times of weakness and sadness i remember your face telling me that everything would be alright. when i see your children i am blessed to be part of their lives. when i'm with you i try to etch your face in my mind just in case it would be the last time i look at you.

everyday of this life of mine i wake up and the two things i think about are: are my children healthy and safe? and is my beloved C doing alright? that is how much i love you. that is how much i cherish you.

with hands outstretched i offer my happiness. please share it with me and be happy with me. let me take you out of your sadness and be free with me. i long to see the smile on your face again. long to see the hurt wiped away.

as i sit here and shed tears for you i only have this to say...

...i will always be here for you. through good times and bad. i will forever be here.

love,

me
