April my favorite month of the year. Such a beautiful month filled with images of Flowers and fresh Spring Air. To start off the month is the best day ever, the day I was born.
This year I'm 26. I crossed the quarter decade line and have lived to see the other side, Alhamdulillah.
So for this special day I'd like to dedicate it to my Father, who still calls me "My little April Fool".
Daddy did you know?
Daddy did you know this day would change the way you looked at the world?
Daddy did you know this day would always shine brighter among the many?
Daddy did you know such a tiny thing could grow so tall?
Daddy did you know you'd always be my gentle giant?
Daddy did you know I'd endure such pain and overcome it,
Like a yellow flower blooming after seasons of rainstorms and frost?
Daddy did you know no matter my problem,
You never failed me, always having a solution?
Daddy did you know I'd dream of the stars?
Daddy did you know I look to your example to grow my own garden?
Daddy did you know on my day I'm thinking of you?
Daddy do you know how much I love you?

Today I feel very happy. I get to go to the Park today for a Picnic and see all my friends. I wish I had a yellow hijab to wear, or a white one with yellow flowers on it. It's incredible I don't own a bright yellow hijab.... ah well... insha'Allah by next year I will.
Happy Spring everyone and insha'Allah this year shines Bright for you.
