Ali's Birthday

My son Ali Mesum is mashaAllah 1 full year old. Infact he turned 1 on 6th February 2009. He was born around 3.30 pm on 6th February 2008. The day he was born is one of the most memorable of life (and I am sure it will remain so).

When my son was born, his lungs were not fully developed and he had to be kept in N.I.C.U. That day was one of the coldest in the history of the city of Karachi. Spending that night on the floor of a medical center and checking up on my kid every hour was a life-changing experience. To be a dad is one of the world's most amazing feeling.

I am posting a couple of pictures of Ali Mesum. Due to the observance of the mourning period of Kerbala (its the Islamic month of Safar these days), we did not celebrate his birthday. It was just the three of us (mama, papa and baba) with the cake.
