My wonderfull life

Everyday I am thankfull to Allah for giving me such a wonderfull life. Thinking back, i have been blessed my whole life. I am so thankfull that I am given the opportunity to stay at home with my boys, watching them growing up before my very eyes. Playing with them, teaching them, cooked and baked for them and sometimes with them. Sometimes all I do is sit and just watch them play. And savouring every wonderfull moments. :). I will always cherished them all. Thank you Allah and all thanks to you. :)
