Im sure all of you have already read about how crazy I am about my niece. No, Im not wierd. All of us love our nieces and nephews, of course! I guess for me its really deep because her birth Mashallah, changed a lot of things in my family.
My father is a diabetic, 3 time stroke survivor and a heart patient. After going so much, he had become quiet, a bit emotional and reserved, not sure of the word Im looking for here. The doctor had warned us of this though. We accepted it and did our best to take care of him.
My mom worked hard all her life...the stories I could tell you guys. Amazing and unbelievable.
My sisters and I were at odds most of the time because of whatever reason. We're all strong headed, independant and opinionated.
When my niece came along, things changed. She brought us all together in a way Ive never seen before. Mashallah. My dad has a fear of planes now but he sat in one two weeks ago just for the baby. He is her favorite playmate and she adores him more then any of us. Yeah, Im jealous...lol. When we got to Boston, she saw my dad and screamed "Nannaaaa Ajaoooooo", ran to his arms and just hugged him forever. He had tears in his eyes. Ive never seen him so happy and so alive. He went all over the city with us, which again doesnt happen a lot. He prefers to be home. But for my niece, he would do anything.
My mom took care of her since the day she was born and she loved every minute of it. She became so involved in my niece, she barely noticed the day go by. We were worried she would be bored and lonely now that she isnt working but she was more then fine. They would sit down and have reading time and even prayed together! Mashallah. She would follow my mom around and do dum on everyone! LOL. My mother's day revolved around her feeding and pooping schedule...
My sisters and I never bickered again, save for a few light arguments here and there. Her birth changed us all and we became a completely different bunch. For Sumaiya, all of us were willing to put everything behind. I remember crying when I first held her, couldnt believe I was a Khala now...well, according to her...Hala but still. She became the center of our world and no one said no to her. With so much spunk and life, how could she not? Everywhere she went, she made friends and was a hit! How can anyone not love a child like that?
With her coming into the world, my family changed for the better. Maybe thats why Im so emotional when it comes to her and also children in general. They represent only good and trust you so willingly. They're masoom and untainted by the world so they love unconditionally. They're our future and such a sweet future too. She brought out a side of myself, my sisters, my parents that I thought was gone. With just one beautiful smile.
This is my little angel. Please say Mashallah and give her a small dua that she stays happy forever. Ameen.

PS, I know what you mean, my parents live with my brother and when he had his daughter 16 months ago, it changed everyone's lives. My dad, who never lifted a finger in his life (typical desi dad), now follows her around all day, plays with her all day, reads to her, is her favorite play pal. The love she has for her 'dadaa' is just heart warming and i KNOW that my dad lives for her now. Same with my mom, my mom is also diabetic and in general sickly. But about a year after the grand daughter came, she went for her annual physical and the doc said that there is a remarkable improvement in her health, amazing.
My dad is using words I've never in my life heard him say like "i love you", "sweet heart", etc. Kids are such a blessing mashallah.
Your niece is beautiful mashallah and she looks incredibly cheeky. God bless her with a wonderful and righteous life.Posted Feb 1st, 2009 at 06:21 AM by aahmed

aww i missed her pic
and i know.. kids are a blessing.. now i feel bad for being in a bad mood with my munchkin..
when my neice was born, my dad changed as well.. he had a stroke earlier that year and i just didnt know what would make him better... now he mashallah has three granddaughters and although they are totally nuts, i dont think he'd want it any other way... one carries his medicine for him, the other immitates how nana abu has it... halarious...
grandchildren are a blessing... they give permission to grandparents (and adults in general) to behave like kids again...Posted Feb 2nd, 2009 at 12:13 AM by sadzzz
