A Question to Ponder

Roses are sometimes red

Violets are nearly almost never blue

The world is so full of leeches and takers what’s a person to do

Giving should be effortless it’s what Allah commands us to do

Be in service and loving

But there are those only to content to lie and use

Taking what is not theirs to take

For the takers

For the liars

For the users

For the cheaters

Will the firey pits of hell suit you??

A Forest of Words

The world for me

The world for me

Lights up magically

Words softest entrance of pirouettes transforming into the most beautiful dance

It’s profound

The scars of hurt you may never see

What remains are the gifts Allah gave to me

The most beautiful dance of words inside my head

You see a forest

I see a melody

You see mountains

I see a symphony

You see a brook

I see a cascade of words foaming up beautifully

Allah took every hurt and replaced it with the most precious gift

He gave me a forest of words dancing inside my head

Waiting to be heard

Remnants of You

Did you know olfactory is our strongest sense and holds the strongest remnants of memories

I remember my flight to Islamabad

I could smell your cologne everywhere

I missed your smell

I missed you

I missed you so massively

I was racing to the last time we were physically together

My heart leapt for joy

Every mile closer to you

Until I landed in your arms

It’s not a little thing

It’s so big

The way you moved in my heart keeps growing and making more and more of the sweetest fragrances of the love WE SHARE

I Have A Solution

I have a solution

Yes, it’s perfectly clear

I have a solution

You miss me

I miss you

Hurry up get and get on that plane! Get on the plane Umair! ILYVM💜

Throughout the duration of dating being in separate countries Umair has heard this phrase a million and one times and bore it so beautifully! Each and every time I miss him!

You have my soul

You are late now get your A$$ home!

Mom’s Moment

I don’t even know if I have words to describe this mom’s moment properly. I went in to hook up the c-pap and oxygen, as always I ask do you need anything? Do you want to pee. She looks up sweetly and says “what honey” and “it’s ok, ohhh it’s snowing” with the most beautiful smile. I don’t know where she was tonight in her dreams or between here and there. But even if for only a moment she was filled with happiness. The photo is mom, my brother and I.

Moms Moments

I used to write a lot more of the sweetness and spiciness of my mom’s on this side. Umair’s mother-in-law, the children of our flock, and our extended family have climbed uphill since August 2023. In August 2023, I took Mom to the hospital with what appeared to be a heart episode. The first hospital and we won’t mention any names, Amberwell Health, for the most part, ran a series of tests and diminished what each of us had been reporting. Then, we were put on spironolactone (sp). It is considered a wonder drug diuretic for people with heart failure. However, when you are in advanced kidney stage 3-B, it is contraindicated.

After what was almost two months of nightmares and some of the most horrific side effects, I finally convinced the doctors to discontinue the medicine! Yay! It’s about this time that we got connected with Dr. Patel at the Cotton O’Neil cardiologist team. I can’t say enough nice things about him. He not only cared about her heart but how her kidneys were functioning as well. Since that appointment, we have had two cardioversions, one pacemaker implant trip to the nephrology clinic, and trips to the pulmonology clinic. We’ve been to palliative care and pain management. This week, we enter the next phase, where they complete the AP mode ablation to get the pacemaker to communicate with her body. It is exciting that we might get her to feel a little better. A team of specialists advised me she would never be out of a fib. The pacemaker’s job is to hopefully override her body so she won’t be aware when she’s in active a fib. She’s also bradycardic.

Also, from the nephrologist, we may have flipped into acute kidney failure, which now may result in us meeting dialysis from the pacemaker implant and the beautiful things that pain meds and anesthesia do to people who have acute kidney failure!! From the pulmonology clinic, mom has COPD as a result of her worsening heart failure, which I previously forgot to mention heart failure. Also on the list of symptoms and requires oxygen around the clock! Most days are an uphill climb! Today, I’m grateful as I watch her changing cognitively, which may be a result of the vascular changes due to heart failure worsening. Mom also has diabetes, and the past week has been a never-ending saga of trauma from an intestinal flu bug. We’re fighting to get her ready for the surgery that will come later this week. Today, I’m grateful I got two kisses for one popsicle and could make it through two baths and one shower. I also have a disabled child who requires constant care. So, if anyone wonders why, I wish every day that USCIS would process our expedite and get Umair home. Does anyone know of a man who would stand by your side with all this other than a bonafide saint? I love him!

Sunday Morning Confessions

I have a few confessions

I love coffee

I have come to love chai because my husband introduced it to me

I love amazing pens

I also love journals

I love strolls in any kind of weather with my husband by my side

I love soft blankets

and warm and cozy sweaters

Take me to see animals

Walks in parks

Walks in the mountains

Walks around monkeys

Walks in the green planet, oh my lord

Walking around trees

My heart is overjoyed

every second you are with me

Roses & Daydreams

Roses are sometimes red

Violets are almost never blue

Flowers come in all colors

A kaleidoscope for all to see

Lighting up our world in vibrant colorful hues

True love and devotion is something rare indeed

Love when offered

Is a treasure you should never cast aside or hide it away

It is otherworldly

Perhaps

Magical

Certainly

Sparkly

Shout from the rooftops

Shout for anyone willing to hear

Love is precious

A gift some may never truly see

Share your love, light and kindness with the world today

The world could use a lot more love from you and me and the entire world today

Spring Mornings

Its early morning

I’ve barely wiped the sleep from my eyes

Laying here wishing your hands were on my thighs

Wishing for delightful kisses that deepen sweetly into so much more

More of us

More of my husband

More of everything that is entirely you and I

More of spring thunderstorms

Where you and I collide

More touches that become explorations of love

More of you

I await your pleasure

Umairi I love you
