This is FANTASTIC.
It’s what LIFE makes of one who is BLESSED with SENSE of REFLECTION in HUMOUR, although trained to REMEMBER NUMBERS and their USEFULNESS.
CONGRATULATIONS to your SON, on his becoming fully GROWN.
May ALLAH grant him and his Family their WISHES. Ameen.
I thank you for giving us, the INSIGN into how you feel FULFILLED. CONGRATS to you as well
