Day 11: My Girl

If you want to know what consumes my every dua, from the moment I wake up to the minute I fall asleep, what keeps me on my janamaaz and brings me to tears (my eyes are already welling up), it’s about my girl.Saanya is my light, my heart, my girl.  She is my fighter, my teacher, my best friend. It’s hard to believe she’s 17; wasn’t it just yesterday that we were holding hands through the streets of Paris, she in her red coat and matching beret, stopping at cafes and strolling through museums.  Next year, she’ll be going to college iA.She’s gone through pain; she’s come out stronger.But I will never stop worrying, never stop praying, never stop believing.  Dear God, please protect my girl; please keep her strong; please keep her confident; please let her know she will never be alone.  Because she will always be in my duas; and You will always be by her side.Day 11, Dua 11: My girl
