Dear Zara,
I cannot remember the last time we did not argue."Hang your clothes...please"
"Do your homework"And last one
"Wear your hijab you are going outside"
That would annoy me because it provoked me into thinking that Why is my faith not strong enough to block out all the weird stares or 'the look'?I remember one time you came home looking rather sad and you skipped dinner saying you were 'tired'.You were lying and we all knew.And i was sure when I told you "You know you don't seem okay" I never talked to you in a way a sister talks but when you cried the whole night in my arms
I knew that very moment that I cared for you and did not tell you...I should have.
Its magical how we can recognise if someone is "having a bad day" and comfort them
The human instinct is a beautiful thingWe can feel each other.
Love,
E
