Hey, please sit down for a few minutes. I have some news.
I’ve met someone, and we are going to be married.
She’s a very nice woman, more or less like me, but you know, a woman.
haha…
She’s actually Irish too, just like our family.
Yeah, i knew you guys would like that.
What’s that? How did i meet her?
…Funny you should ask that…
My friend introduced us because she knew we would hit it off.
My muslim friend and sister.
Why did i call her my sister?
Nina…Poppop…
You both have been there for me since day one, and the last thing i want to do is break your heart.
I know you don’t like Islam because of the way you were raised and how the media portrays it.
But I have prayed silently for 3 years.
My love of God has changed me into a better person more than I ever could have imagined.
Guys, please don’t stop loving me.
It’s still me…
…your grandson.
You raised me…
…into a grown man.
A man that will marry another Muslim like me.
I hope that God wills it, that you will accept me, and my wife.
I love you both so very much and ashadu en la illaha il Allah, wa ashadu anna muhammed a rassool Allah.
I felt this was going to be a problem with us.
But I know in my heart that I am doing the right thing, with absolutely no regrets.
Please be there for us.
Please be there for me.
Love your grandson…
