Today I am here as a mother of four loveliest children three girls and one special boy.Let's say it in technical terms but this would be the first and the last time I would use it.I have two step daughters, one step son and a daughter.I started writing this memoir with an intention of thought that it may be an inspire to another woman, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a wife or anyone in a similar life journey.
I was born and bred in Sri Lanka with no siblings. It was a country not only fighting its economy but also to end an civil war of many years.My family home broke when I was small and I was brought up in a private convent. I had the privilege of getting a good sound education until I finished my University.Thanks to Allah! As a child I recollect a mixture of memories which are beautiful and also of unpleasant.
I got married to whom I thought I would live the rest of my life with. But unfortunately it ended within months actually days.I thought I ended my life even before I started it. I fled away from everything what I was to find a way to live before it really ends.
I flew to England in 2004 leaving all my bitter memories behind me in order to start a new journey for the years left in this life.I converted to Islam on 16th August 2006. My life changed from that day!
I worked and volunteered in the charities and NGOs during a whole decade in Sri Lanka and England.But 2008 I met a person a very noble human.Yes he is my husband Maaz. In a nutshell he was a man with loads and loads of patience, faith in Allah and an unconditional love for his children. He had 2 daughters and a son then. I married him July 2008. We moved to his town in November 2008 and started a happy family although the kids time were shared between us and their mum.
The first day met my kids I knew I have to play a special vital part to make their lives better. Their normal home was not normal. It was torn apart so were their hearts.The miracle was about to happen. That is that all of them accepted me into their lives from the moment they saw me. All praise to Allah the Almighty. They knew that this woman has entered our lives and I think they hoped that I would give them the best I could. Yes I know and I promised to myself that I will give my best to this wonderful children and make their future a better one.
We moved to another house soon after and now kids had two homes. Then I fell pregnant and had our little daughter in 2009 August in just the same month as her sisters. They loved their baby sister to bits. They knew she's theirs and so did she. They started missing each other.
