To my bina.

Just tlked to my lil niece in somalia. Lol she's complainin about the bathrooms. haha I truly miss my lil niece Bina. And the joy she brings to my life. I remember when she was just born and now 6 years later, she has only expanded her intelligence and her beauty, Mash'allah. evryday i spent wit her in toronto, reminded me of a childhood i missed out on, but in a way-it was beautiful. she was always looking to dress up, take photos, dance, play with her hair. life to her was all about herself. simple. and always wit a smile on her face. if only children could stay like that. if only we can protect them from the world- so that they are forever joyful.

one of the many photos i took of her in her own world. i wish i couldve focused on them and had the background blurry, but at the same point- i thnk accidents like this happen for a reason. this shows movement and gives more of a feeling than if they were frozen in time-since no one really is ever frozen in one position forever. its amazing what children and spending time with them can teach us. So inspiring!
