Someone posted this on Facebook and I thought of sharing this here.  It's wonderfully written and tells just about the sacrifices that we, women, wives, mothers, do everyday to the people we love around us... Enjoy! Love her …when she sips on your coffee or tea.  She only wants to make sure it tastes just right for you Love her…when she "pushes" you to pray.  She wants to be with you in Jannah Love her…when she asks you to play with the kids.  She did not "make" them on her own. Love her...when she is jealous.  Out of all the men she can have, she chose you Love her…when she has annoying little habits that drives you nuts.  You have them too Love her…when her cooking is bad.  She tries Love her…when she looks dishevelled in the morning.  She always grooms herself up again Love her…when she asks to help with the kids homework.  She only wants you to be part of the home Love her...when she asks if she look...

I was sick early in Dec 2011 and I was down for almost 3 weeks.  Right after the Penang Bridge International Marathon in mid-Nov 2011, I had fever for a week.  I kept going back and forth to the same clinic and they changed my medicine for so many times, still I did not recover.

I was on MC for another 7 days after I was discharged..... and the doctor said, "no running for a while, okay.....
