I logged into AIM, but none of my buddies were in FPH chat.

It's just as well. I finally fell back to sleep and had a really cool sci-fi dream about hot guys, spaceships, and lunar mining operations on strange alien worlds.

My coworker had her baby (finally) via c-section, Alh. She had been in labor since yesterday 7 am. Her sister sent me a pic of the baby - she has to be one of the most beautiful babies I have ever seen, mashAllah. They named her Leyly (Lay-lee).

im not a music person, but i love reading lyrics :werid:
here is one by Sara Bareilles

Head under water,
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while.
The breathing gets harder, even I know that.

You made room for me but it’s too soon to see,
If I’m happy in your hands.
I’m unusually hard to hold on to.

Blank stares at blank pages.
No easy way to say this.
You mean well, but you make this hard on me.

I'm not gonna write you a love song,
'Cause you asked for it,
'Cause you need one, you see.
I'm not gonna write you a love song,
'Cause you tell me it's,
Make or breaking this.
If you’re on your way,
I'm not gonna write you to stay.
If all you have is leaving,
I’m gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today.
Today.

I learned the hard way,
That they all say things you want to hear.
My heavy heart sinks deep down under you,
And your twisted words, your help just hurts.
You are not what I thought you were.
Hello to high and dry.

Convinced me to please you.
Made me think that I need this too.
I’m trying to let you hear me as I am.

I'm not gonna write you a love song,
'Cause you asked for it,
'Cause you need one, you see.
I'm not gonna write you a love song,
'Cause you tell me it's,
Make or breaking this.
If you’re on your way,
I'm not gonna write you to stay.
If all you have is leaving,
I’m gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today.

Promise me you'll leave the light on,
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone.
'Cause I believe there's a way you can love me because I say,

I won't write you a love song,
'Cause you asked for it,
'Cause you need one, you see.
I'm not gonna write you a love song,
'Cause you tell me it's,
Make or breaking this.
Is that why you wanted a love song,
'Cause you asked for it,
'Cause you need one, you see.
I’m not gonna write you a love song,
'Cause you tell me it's,
Make or breaking this.
If you’re on your way,
I’m not gonna write you to stay.
If your heart is nowhere in it,
I don’t want it for a minute.
Babe, I’ll walk the seven seas when I believe that there's a reason to,
Write you a love song today.
Today.

i was talking to a friend who was invited to a wedding few months ago. the night before the wedding, the father of the groom had a severe stroke, he didnt pass away alhumdulilah but he had to stay in the hospital for a while (few days or weeks?).

the wedding went ahead as planned and my friends said there was alot of talk in the wedding about whether that was the right thing to do. some guests said they should have canceled the wedding while others believed that since everything was allready bought/ food paid/ guests flew over and allready here,,,, the family did the right thing to do by keeping the wedding on for the night

how do you guys feel about this? although i can understand that everything is paid and it would be hard to cancel everything, i dont think i can EVER have a wedding where my parents or two brothers would not be able to make it because they were at the hospital while im at my own wedding supposed to be having "fun" and be "happy",

i can def see both sides of the argument, but personally i cant see myself doing it, i would just suggest to my family and husband to be that we can cancel the wedding and just be married, or have something small later on. if guests cant deal with that or get upset, then i feel as though they are not ppl i would want at my wedding anyway.

whats everyones thoughts?

i agree with you, nooni. while i understand the whole thing about spending all that money on arrangements, i would never be able to go ahead with the festivities if my parents or brothers/family ended up in the hospital for some reason or another. i wouldn't even think twice about. no amount of money spent can compare to the health of your loved ones.

This morning at like 3:30am, this muslim family down the street's house got broken into. I live on a really quiet street, but I really didn't hear anything. Anyway, the sister is in the hospital, but I am getting conflicting stories as to why. The internet story said there were no gunshot wounds, but the story around the masjid is the sister was shot in the face. In all honesty, I have to go with the newspaper because there was no activity at 7:30 this morning when I went to work and my mom said she didn't see anybody. Also, the last time there was a shooting around here, the cops were here for hours. and the whole police force was practically here. Gunshots were fired, but I don't know.
Anyway, I am afraid, but please keep the sister and her family in your dua.

InshaAllah none of us ever have to make that decision. It must have been a hard one. I'm sure they did the best they could. It would probably be nicer if the guests didn't pass judgement on it, and gave the benefit of the doubt.

not that easy, Theres no future with any of them. The one i do get along with and like alot he wants to live in palestine....not happening.

[ChotooMotoo]

Every family is different. I know if it was my parents, they would prefer things to go on rather than stop for them. Therefore I would have the festivities, but perhaps make them a little more solemn. Other families might be different though, so it's best not to judge others too harshly.

I agree with this. I went to a wedding under similar circumstances and it was bittersweet. There were a lot of people chattering about it, but there are a lot of factors at play and the families were already emotional so they did the best they could. I believe they wound up having two valimas though (one as planned and one about a year later when things were happier again).

Nooni, we were almost in a similar situation with my nephew's aqeeqa almost a year ago. The day before, we got a call from my dad's doctor saying that he needed to go to the emergency room. While we were at the hospital, my dad was like go ahead and still have the party. I was like "WTH? When people ask where you are and we say the hospital, they are going to think we're nuts!" He was like "Just tell everyone I said Salaam." We had rented a hall, ordered food, and invited hundreds of guests. Alhumdulillah, my dad was released the same day and things were okay (he forgot to take his insulin the day he was having some blood test, so his doctor freaked out - it wasn't that serious at all, Alh), so we went along with our plans. If my dad ended up having to stay in the hospital, my mom decided we would cancel the party regardless of what my dad wanted.
