My dads on his way back from California. The last time we called him, about an hour and twenty minutes ago, he was passing the Shasta mountains and still hadn't even crossed the border into Oregon. He said that it would take them another 5 hours or so to get back but I doubt it will take more than 4.

 

Alhamdullilah today was good, although it was another one of those busy busy days.  I got close to no sleep the night before since everyone, including AbdulQudoos, stayed up till past 1! I ended up sleeping around 3, getting up for fajr around 5:40.. staying up till 8ish then sleeping till I couldnt ignore AbdulQudoos jumping on me anymore :P.. The rest of the day I spent either busy with guests or busy with homework. Alhamdulillah I finished all I have to do for this week/end except for an essay thats due tommorrow. I'll try writting it in a bit.. or maybe I'll just put it off till tommorrow.

 

How do you comfort someone that has sustained numerous losses and is extremely depressed? I mean come on after a while vowing your support and proclaiming your love for them looses its affect..but what can you do when you're hundereds of miles away other than make duaa' for them and be there to listen when they need someone to talk to? I can't think of anything else.. but this doesnt seem like enough.. its not enough. :(

 

I cant stand seeing her like this.. na'aam qaadarAllahu wa ma sha'a fa'aal.. but I want to do more to help her. When my dad called me from Sacramento to ask me to find him addresses of some places there all I could think of was "thats where yasi is.. I want to go see her". It hurts so bad seeing her like this.. and I want to do all I can for her.. if I could take the pain instead of her I would.. but thats not possible.. I know shes strong and she can make it through it inshaAllah.. shes made it through so much before.. and inshaAllah I hope to be there for her anyway I can..no matter how far apart we might be.. :( and yes, I'm speaking to her right now.
