A'isha,
I remember you saying your dearest friends were middle eastern. I also know a few Arab women and I think highly of them. They are intelligent, beautiful and gentle hearted women. 3 out of the 4 Arab women are living American lives without robes. 1 chooses to wear her robes, but without a veil. 3 of them drive vehicles. 1 attends a Catholic church. 1 has psycological problems due to being severely abused while living in an Arab country. Unfortunately, she is currently in the hospital being treated for severe depression. I sent her beautiful flowers a couple of days ago and I hope they are cheering her up. She is not being allowed visitors at this time, but I hope to visit her soon. Her family is having a difficult time. I had a volunteer team at work make her children fleece tie blankets to cheer them up a bit.
I know blankets are not a substitute for a mother, but maybe the blankets will bring some comfort to them. They are in my prayers.
