Hawaa Abdullah, daughter of Amin Abdullah, the security guard who was killed along with two others in Monday's shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, honored her father as a role model and the "absolute best dad in the world."
Imagine losing a woman who doesn't talk to multiple men, is well educated, family oriented, responsible, carries herself well, and has a pure heart...Embarrassing
Imagine losing access to my laugh, my weird questions, my uplifting reminders, the way I see life, the depth of my conversations, my spark and most of all, my love and presence.
As long as you know your intentions are pure, never stress over anything or anyone. Trust that you will always end up where you are meant to be; it is never your loss, respectfully.
Any woman can be REPLACED, but the one who stood by you when you had nothing, supported and encouraged you at your lowest, and chose YOU over men who could give her the world, that kind of woman is IRREPLACEABLE.
Even in Islam, we're taught to make hijrah. If you don't like where you are, move. If your environment drains you, change it. If what influences you isn't good for you, walk away. There's nothing wrong with leaving what harms you.
