Jibber jabber is a cool word thing, I like it! Rhymes perfectly with pitter patter. I could almost feel the chaos in the poem haha. I really wonder sometimes if I'll be able to handle the challenges that come with parenthood (gotta find a special someone before worrying about that lol), and it's certainly the case that I will have a much easier time being a guy. But then I think that nobody is ever truly ready and they just have to build the resilience as the days come.
Anyways, this was a splendid read. May your children and family be blessed immensely, and may the chicks grow into mighty eagles herons pelican spoonbills kingfishers hummingbirds loons, and may they all come back home at sundown, someday soon with their own little chicks in tow.
Thank you for reading this and leaving this heartwarming comment here Mahmood.
Aameen to all the beautiful duas you made for me and my family.
Yes, chaos is absolutely the right choice of words for what parenthood feels like in the early days. The constantly evolving relationship that children and parents build shapes up the rest of their lives in ways we can never fully understand.
I pray that you find your people before you find parenthood. Because Lord knows it, It is a huge undertaking for just two people.
Yes, absolutely. I've struggled and still kind of struggling with the village part, being a first gen immigrant and all. But Alhamdulillah for all the ease and people that we do have here to support us.
Oooo this was lovely and amazing, aunty Z!!

Well said. Gotta build a village before you can raise kids. Takes a whole village to raise them, after all (or so the saying goes).
