Oh Gentle One, be gentle with us...

"she refused to open her eyes, as they pushed her out of the fateful room...
but yet her tears flowed continuously, the tears of a broken would-be mother, for her child who will never be."

the news of a pregnancy is always something that lifts the heart of the family. and for newlyweds, it is news of a thousand significance. unless one is a parent himself, one can only imagine the joy that parents get when told of the coming of a newborn. it is the next definite step and milestone to a marriage, to the building upon of the family institution. and it is the truest indication of a future.

so i can only imagine what went through her mind.
and yet, at the same time, i don't want to imagine it.

Allah, give her strength.

And the only prayer i have for her, "Oh Gentle One, be gentle with us..."
