You are Loved, Ayah - today and always

It's Ayah's birthday today. The beginning of many, many birthdays this month. Mak's birthday is next week - yes, Ayah and Mak were born exactly a week apart. Mine is somewhere in the middle - five days after Ayah's and two days before Mak's. Two of my uncles and two of my cousins are celebrating their birthday in May (in fact, Ayah Lang's birthday is also today). And don't get me started on my friends' birthdays... (then there's Labour Day, Mother's Day, Teacher's Day... you get the drift...)

Too bad that 050505 is a day that will be remembered by many as the day on which the price of fuel hiked up all of a sudden - but still, I guess my dad would have other better reason(s) to remember this day. Like having his son-in-law beating his daughter at wishing him happy birthday... And having a prospective daughter-in-law calling him up to wish happy birthday too... I pray that other things in other sections of his life are flourishing well too...

I don't think Ayah has ever read my blog - but I hope he knows that it's not just at special times like this, but each and every day, he is loved far more than words can ever say! I hope things go well his way and Allah will bless him always.

P/S: Note the time I reserved to publish this particular entry - 05:05, 050505... Cool, eh? And 5 happens to be my favorite number...
