@julekahayder: I was so adamant that I wasn’t going to have a mehndi and I truly believed I would quietly let these milestones pass. But Allah had other plans. Without me knowing, my Mum and my baby sister planned one for me anyway 🤍 Looking around that evening, I realised it wasn’t about having a celebration. It was about being surrounded by the people who have carried me through my hardest days. It was about seeing my amma smile after everything she’s been through. It was about making memories together, even while missing the one person we all wished was there. I’ll treasure this night forever not because it was a mehndi I never wanted, but because it was planned with so much love by the two women who have held my heart together. May Allah reward you both beyond measure. Ameen 🥹🫶 #family #parents #Love #creatingmemoriestogether #mehndi @rukiih
