Happy Muslim Mama: I Knew He Was Listening

Just after I published that last post and went to pick Little Lady up from school as she returned from a school trip, I got a call from my mum. They’ve found my uncle. He’s safe. He’s still in Peshawar and won’t be home in Jhelum till tomorow morning.

I nearly started jumping up and down in the school playground. There’s not much detail yet – whether my uncle paid up or the police made a raid. Once I know I will post, but that might take a little while (especially knowing our family and the stories that just get started).

I feel joyful and immensely relieved, as if I have breathed deeply after so many days. Thank you so much to all those kind souls who have made dua for me and my family.

I’m off to say thank you to a certain someone who was taking care of us along.
