Life Through My Eyes
There is absolutely no worse feeling than your baby being unwell and you can’t take away their pain. For the past seven days we have either been at the pediatrician, at the hospital, or both. These past seven days have been exhausting, physically and emotionally. When Arham woke up ill Friday, and wouldn’t improve as the …
Ten years. I can’t believe it’s been ten years, but it is a day I will remember in detail for many many years to come… if not for the rest of my life. What started off as an ordinary Saturday in July, quickly became a life altering day. Faraz’s graduation party was the following Saturday, …

What a week! Actually, January in general has been a-not-so-great month for us. But first of all, I want to wish my brother, Ayaz, a very happy 24th birthday! January 1st – on the way back from my cousin’s house after his anniversary party, we barely avoided what could have been a very horrendous accident, …
