My grandkids' fourth birthday today

God has been very kind and merciful. When I recall the agony we went through four years ago on the day that should have brought unadulterated joy to us, and the four months of torture, and test of our patience, courage and faith, I cannot thank God enough that he saw us through this testing time and rewarded us with a pair of the most beautiful twins ever. From little preemies struggling for their lives they are today Mashallah, the light and joy of not only their parents, but also both sets of grandparents, uncles and aunts. I can't believe how adept Abbas is with the ipad and laptop and how easily he can rattle off the most difficult poems thanks to his photographic memory; or for that matter what a pathaki Natalia is, with a query about everything under the sun, and a capacity to understand all explanations. May God grant them a healthy life full of happiness and may they continue to fill ours lives with delight every step of the way.
