Words from my Heart...

    A few days back, as I was sitting in a cafe, sharing waffles and ice cream with 2 of my acquaintances, we talked about life’s challenges. One conversation led to another and somehow, I told them about how I am tested with a son who has ADHD. One of the ladies, than passed a remarks if I was sure my son had ADHD or am I just being Over dramatic.   She also mentioned that there might be nothing wrong with my son, and ADHD was just want I wanted him to have, a convenient excuse for his indiscipline behaviour.  It hurts me when I receive such comments. Which mother would be sick enough to self-label her son with ADHD? Which mother wants her son to have this condition? ...................I then told her, that I didn’t diagnosed him but the clinic. I also explain that ADHD, unlike normal illness is not a disease with clear visible symptoms,   it is a behaviour condition and can often be misinterpreted with indiscipline.   ...

  she walked passed me as if, she don't know me. Felt the hurt, for when she needed my help, I was there for her. When she needed my help, oh how good she would be to me. and this happens time and time again.   exactly......and I was hurt.....she is non other than my own ........   an advise came to me....from who else, but my advisor when I am down.   Hubby said:   The reason why you feel hurt is because you expect something for being good. When you expect something, you will be utterly disappointed .   Do good deeds without expecting anything in return. Allah will than reward you in ways you cannot imagine, maybe in the form of giving you good pious children.   For that, I nodded and I knew Allah swt wanted me to learn this lesson.
