Feliz cumpleaños

Zilla, happy birthday, La.

This is the second birthday that you have had to miss.

It would have been great if you were around to celebrate your birthday and I would be cracking my brain as to what cake I should bake you and how I should decorate it and what I should get you with the little money I have.

But it's all right...

I think I'm more at peace with it now. With the fact that you are not here anymore. I'm not saying that I am totally at peace and at ease with it but I'm getting more used to it.

So, since it's your birthday and you're not here to make a wish, I will make one on your behalf.

May Allah bless your soul for eternity and keep you close by His side, and may your kids live a wonderful life filled with love, knowledge, happiness and Allah's blessings.

Amin.
