So it’s been about 2 months and a week since husband’s voyage. Sure doesn’t get any easier the second time round, but one sure gets more prepared with the experience gained from the first. Not much of anxiety because we already knew what to expect, but how do you shake off this feeling of … I don’t even have the words to describe it. Can’t say lonely cos I’m truly not, and it’s definitely not sadness because that’s too negative. Nothing about being with my husband is negative in spite of the massive distance. 

You know they say you can’t change reality, but what you can do is make the best out of it. Couldn’t possibly think of a silver lining behind our circumstance, but I think this time apart’s what’s best for us. It wouldn’t have been written the way it was otherwise.  

I honestly think we are so lucky to have each other. So blessed to have a husband who is patient and kind. We’ve had so much plans for the future and I am truly looking forward to each and every one of it if Allah wills it. 

I love you so much, my dearest husband. And as you already know it, I will always be right here waiting patiently and faithfully for your safe return.

May you and your fellow crews be in the protection and guidance of Allah. Amin.
