Note: Sharing A Few Lessons Learned From Not Being Able To Say Goodbye Again To My Dear Husband This Saturday Morning Before His Travel To Saudi Arabia For The Nth Time

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

💭 I  was looking forward to going to the airport this Saturday morning but because I overslept and prayed Fajr late we couldn't catch up with our relatives many of whom are traveling to Manila from Davao then tomorrow to Saudi Arabia. Anyhow Alhamdulillah we visited one of their houses at a subdivision and had dinner with them. Alhamdulillah I printed some papers containing tips on how to perform Umrah and two of the travelers received. I promised I'd try my best to print more and bring the copies tomorrow morning so as soon as we arrived home I printed several copies from Abu Khadeejah website on how to perform Umrah correctly. Anyway the next day we missed the meeting with many of our other relatives and I just apologized to them in the GC. I still have the printed copies with me. List 39 sentences with words of reassurance and 39 lessons learned regarding this situation for Muslims. Note that one of those traveling again for Umrah includes my dear husband who told me I don't need to go to the airport so I can save some money. The fare for going to the airport with Grab Car is around 250 pesos and vice versa.
