Goodness, I'm missing everybody in Pakistan so much!!! :/ 

I've been feeling pretty nostalgic lately. Every night I fal asleep thinking of how it'll feel the next time I go to Karachi and see my family, it's been 5 years. I can not believe it, five very long years. I don't think I can bear it any longer. My constantly keeping touch with isn't helping me either, it's making me go back to what I felt 3 years ago. I don't want to feel that again, I really don't.

The most shocking news in these past seven months, Moaz Uncle passed away in October. It was, crazy. None of us could believe it at all, Tasneem Auntie just finished her Iddat last month. I still can not believe it, I really can't. The day after he died, when we saw his body, it was just...I can't even explain the feeling. Throughout the whole situation, when he was in the hospital and everything, Ifrah controlled herself so well. But, when we saw his face, she just broke down. I really wish I could just, I don't even know. It was just so painful. Moaz Uncle was a great person in general, may Allah grant him Jannah. Ameen.
