Now or Never

One decision changes everything.

No turning back now.
Only Allah knows best.

The above pretty much sums up everything that is going on in my life at the moment. Not just my life but my family’s, my parents’, my siblings’ and my in-laws’.

Funny how we plan things for so long but the actual impact of the idea never really did sink in our minds, not until the idea has suddenly become a reality. And now I don’t know what to feel. Excited? Yes. Scared? Totally. Overwhelmed? Most definitely.

The utmost important thing that is turning our lives directions, with more uncertain futures ahead, I’m talking about moving. No, not just moving house. We are relocating; moving 10 years of life, experiences, knowledge and memories back to our home country. It is a process that not only involves the physical change but it also affects the mindset and the emotions. It feels like ‘starting life all over’.

I don’t even know where to start now.
So many things to do, so little time.

Some do understand this feeling and some don’t. Regardless, I am thankful for the support from families and friends.

May Allah give us guidance and strength, especially for my kids. For all the ups and downs, the happy and the sad, and everything else… we are surely going to miss Ireland. You have been a wonderful home to us for the past 10 years. Thank you for all the memories. Maybe one day we’ll meet again, InsyaAllah.

Autumn... we're gonna miss you
