Tomorrow is the day my mother gave birth to you 29 years ago. I wonder how you are? If you are well? If you are happy? As I write this post I cry because I think of how lonely it is not to have a family around you. It has been three years since I saw you and two years since I spoke to you. I know that you are estranged from the family but I can't deny the ache I feel everytime I think of you and what has become of you. Will you ever forgive us? us you? I love you no matter what and I am not sure you believe that but you must, since you call me whenever you need me. Its the times in between that I worry about you the most, for I have no inkling of where you lay your head. I pray that you are happy in your life. I pray that you find peace in life. I pray that you forgive your parents for their decisions and forgive me for keeping away from you. I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday in my own way. I wanted to tell you I miss you, a lot. May God smile graciously on you today and all days. Be safe my brother for my life wouldn't be the same if you weren't alive and for that I dedicate this to you on your birthday. I love you. Always.
Your sister forever,
L

What a sweet letter, SD? I am reading some sadness and regret in your words, walaal. May you be reunited with O in forgiveness and love.
This is nice. Can you write one for me? I too have lost a brother somewhere on this continent. You have till April. :(
Aya thanks for the wish and Inshallah maybe we will get to that point.
Ojay my heart goes out to you but I have a feeling you would pen a more poignant letter than I ever would.
I'm sure he feels the same way, especially on these kinds of occasions...
