pyari zainab, i cannot believe that you left us so soon. i am heartbroken dearest. you will always be a sweet girl to me. the one who brought her girls over, whenever i was in lahore. you wanted us to be close, even though we lived across oceans. how will i meet you this time?
i know there were struggles. i know how much you missed your dear mom and dad, our smiling phuppo aunty iffie and our soft-spoken phuppa. it will be so hard for your daughters. you were the center of their universe. for once, i have no words. just infinite sorrow.
inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. surely we belong to god, and to god we return.
