At 24 minutes past midnight on Friday 28th March 2008 (Yawmul Jumuah), we were blessed with a new addition to our family. Our son, and R’s little brother entered into the world. It has been a week and a half since he graced us with his presence and I can honestly say it is not easy being a new mother again. I am desperate to return to schooling R as she is clearly affected by the attention shift. But as my labour was long and traumatic, I just don’t have the energy to do very much. It is taking longer than I anticipated to recover, but I know that I will not be any use to anyone 50% fit. One thing I must say is having my newborn son has really reiterated to me how important it is to homeschool. They are born so innocent, and to think of sending such an empty vessel to school, risking their upbringing and akhirah is unthinkable. I just pray and hope I have the energy to undertake this important role…
