A month. Not just a month...
In the warm glow of Christmas lights. That you've converted to to Ramadan lights. A household full of muslim converts, even the cat can't help but lay on the prayermatt after fajr.
A smile so wide and innocent it makes me want to hold your face in hands gently to try and make you feel all the love in my heart.
Meal planning and sleep schedules everything is ready for our first Ramadan together. In the same house, in the same desperate need for Allah in our lives. Finally well both have someone to break fast with!
We'll do this together and grow stronger and in the mornings before anybody can even think of the sun, we'll stumble into the bathroom to wash and set water on the stove for tea and nibble at fruit before starting a long day of abstaining. From food, from water and from another, in some ways at least...
In others we'll be closer than we ever were, in the glow of converted Ramadan lights
