Hello Friends,
Today, by the grace of Almighty ALLAH I became father of a daughter in this holy month of Ramzan and I can’t describe how amazing this feeling is to become a dad.
I’m writing this blog specially for my first daughter who is now just 36 hours old and I believe, few years from now when she is able to read and understand, she might get a chance to read this blog post and see what my feelings are for her from the moment I saw her for the first time.
June 23rd, 2015 – The day start at 10 o’clock in the morning. I went to AKUH hospital where my beautiful wife, my better half was admitted and she was about to enter the Surgical Area which is restricted to patient and doctors. I met her there and she said she will call me to recovery room where only husband could come in to meet their wife before they move them to OT. I sat on the bench outside Surgical Area and waited if someone come out and call my name to meet my wife as she said to me that she will call me.
I was sitting there with my Mother-in-law, sister and bhabi. They were all talking to each other but my focus was completely on to that locked door. I started reciting all the Quran Surah and Duas I know and prayed to God that everything goes well. The guard came and said that only one person could stay here and everybody else need to go back to the room and wait there for the news. I asked everyone to go and wait in the room and I will call them once I hear anything. It was a complete disconnect with my wife, I didn’t know what she is going through on the other side of the door. I kept on waiting anxiously that someone might come out and call me in to meet my wife but no one came. Around 11:30, my wife’s elder sister and her husband came there to take me back to the room and not to sit here alone but I refused to go back and they also sat with me on that bench. They started talking about random stuff to divert my mind as I was worried but all I could see was that locked door.
Finally at 12:30 pm, nurse came out and called me. I stood up and ran towards that door and I thought that she will take me to the recovery room but she said “Congratulations sir, please wait here I’m bringing your child”. This was the moment when my legs and arms started shaking, the tears coming out from my eyes and then I saw the nurse coming back with a trolley in which my baby was wrapped in a green cloth. I couldn’t see anything as my baby was completely covered until I slightly removed the cloth and I saw my baby for the first time and the nurse said, it’s a girl.
I didn’t know that this kind of feeling existed in me before until I saw you for the first time. It was full of emotions, love and happiness. I couldn’t hold back my tears and suddenly I started missing my wife to share this great moment of my life with. I missed my Mom and Dad alot at that time. I took your first picture and I asked the nurse about your mom’s health. Alhumdulillah, everything went normal.
To my daughter: I don’t know how our father-daughter relationship goes. I don’t know if I could be that expressive about my feelings for you when you grow up but I just wanted to tell you that I unconditionally Love You from the moment I saw you for the first time and this will remain forever. I will try my best to become a good and supportive father and full-fill your needs.
To my wife: On my this birthday in April, you didn’t gave me any gift and I also didn’t asked for anything as we both know that few months later you will give me the greatest gift of my life in form of our first daughter. I just wanted to thank you for that and you know that I love you so much. You will always be my number 1 girl.
Love,
Happy Husband & Father of a daughter.
