DAMIA TURN 1

Nur Damia Qairina, where do I begin?  

One year ago,  at 7:25pm, I heard your sweet cry for the first time.
It was the sweetest sound I had ever heard.  Right then and there my life changed.  

One year ago, I spent the night staring at your precious face, thanking Allah for the greatest blessing. 

One year ago, your dad and I announced your birth to our family and friends.  

One year ago, we became a family of three. 

On August 19^th, one year ago I experienced the greatest joy of my life.   

Without a doubt, this past year has been the best year of my life (of course your dads too). 

Because of you, I am a mom.  Something I have always dreamed of being.  

Because of you, I know the deepest meaning of love. 

Because of you, I strive to be the best I can be.   

Because of you, I feel complete.  

You my daughter, have changed my life in the absolute best way possible. 

I read somewhere that having a child is like letting your heart walk around outside of your body.
That couldn't be more true. 

I have so many hopes and dreams for you in this life.

 I know that ALLAH has a purpose for you and He is going to use you to do amazing things.

 I hope that no matter what you do and where you go, you know you’re never alone.  

I hope you have the confidence to be who you want to be. 

  I hope that you have the courage to go after your dreams and determination to not give up.  

I hope that you are brave when faced with challenges. 

  I hope that you have compassion for others and a giving heart. 

  Most of all, I hope that you get the most out of this life you’ve been blessed with. 

No matter what, I will always be here for you. 

  I will be here to hold your hand when you need support. 

Lend an ear when you want to talk. 

Pick you up when you fall and most of all guide you the best I can through this life.  

The most important thing I want you to know is that you are loved.  So very loved.  

Happy 1st birthday, my precious daughter. 

I love you to the moon and back sweet girl.
