I choose to be a mother to my kids .. from the moment they wake up, I am there to shower, cook, feed and play with them. Only for that few hours that I am away at work each day will my mother be their caregiver. After that, I take over. No matter how exhausted I am.
I choose to sleep in the same bedroom with my younglings. I choose to be there to teach my sons. I choose to as much as a fulltime mom as i can. I want to be involved in every aspect of their growing years. To wipe their tears, to share their laughter and joy. I choose to be the one bring up my own kids to in hope that one day they will become good Muslims. People of strong character, grounded and compassionate.
