For those nights youâve been holding a screaming baby, standing and rocking, waking and stumbling, exhausted and bleary
For the months where you watch people post pictures of their newborn babies, their pregnancy announcements, their childrenâs milestones- God protect and bless them all- and you cry silently at the loss of the baby that was once in your womb, or the womb that feels so painfully lonely because you fear it will never house your baby
For the days you wonder how youâre going through get through it as a single parent, how youâre ever going to be enough for the people that depend on you in every way
For the years that fly by as you battle depression, physical pain and personal struggles all while trying to still be the best parent you can possibly be with all of your issues
For those moments of guilt. Of never being good enough.
For the physical pain. And for the emotional torture of worrying, of fearing, of missing, of wishing, of regretting, of trying to continue, of hurting.
For the tears youâve cried, youâve sobbed, youâve dried and then started over again for your grown child who doesnât return your texts, who never returns your calls, who you wonder about every minute of every day
Remember:
âIndeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of any who did well in deeds.â (Quran, 18:30)
With the right intention, every moment of your pain, every effort you put forth- it isnât forgotten. Even when your children forget, He remembers. Even when others donât understand your struggles, He knows. Even when others donât appreciate, He rewards. Even when no one can comfort, He is the light of the Heavens and the earth. God is your light. And:
âHe is with you wherever you are.â (Quran, 57:4)
