new birth new love
Wednesday, December 14th, 2005
this entry is to celebrate the first birth of my next generation. my
dearest longest friend aida safely gave birth to a lovely absolutely
adorable little girl. the names eesha malaika. i will call her by her
second name. she is the most precious baby ever. aida, i know you
probably ll never read this, but ill say it anwyays. as of last night,
ive come to know the new meaning of happiness. im so grateful for all
that is our friendship. i love you. i love your baby. and i will love
more of that as every day passes. suddenly its like only yesterday that
we met at the school gates, and walk side by side towards home. its
only yesterday that we laze around in your room and talk about
nothings. its only yesterday that we wait on each other before going
for collage classes. its only yesterday that i saw you before i leave
for Perth. only yesterday i see you walking off into marriage bliss
with husband in hand. only yesterday that i saw you pregnant for the
first time. so many yesterdays thats shining so crystal clear right
now. but nothing outshines the memory of our 8 year old faces, looking
at each other in fear, that one afternoon when we were caught cutting
agama class once upon a time. i will always smile at that memory.
i hope and pray for you
my sister my friend
for nothing but
happiness for all that is celebrated
strength for all the hardship that is sure to come
wisdom for all the new beginnigs of this new chapter of your life
faith for every broken moments that you might encounter
and fullfillment for every little or big achievements accomplished.
here s to Malaika. Lovely little Malaika.
