The last days in Mecca went by as a blur, between worship, studying for the final exam, and shopping. Needless to say, I had to struggle with separation anxiety as I prepared to part from new old friends; friendships forged with the strongest of bonds: love for Allah, His worship, and this deen. I had to battle the depression setting in from leaving the sacred land, without knowing if I'll ever be invited back to it.
Tears were shed, hugs and kisses abounded, and before I knew it, I was home reunited with my loved ones, but longing for Mecca.

Que Allah swt te recompense y bendiga por compartir tan importantes momentos con nosotros. No pude evitarlo, llore al leer tus notas y le pedi a Allah swt que me permita poner mis pies en esa tierra santa algun dia. Le doy gracias a Allah que regresaste sin novedad. Insha'Allah nos veremos pronto. Edilma
