And do it extra hard and long for those who can't today. I have one hour left till I can go home and hug my son. I cannot stop crying today at the thought of all the innocent lives lost. :(

Flor this is not a thread about working or stay at home mothers.

Fatimah, I went home yesterday and just hugged my little boy all night. Only put him down to make dinner and then my husband hugged him the whole time because he was upset too. Can't even stop looking at him today and gave him tons of kisses before I went off to work. I can't imagine the thought of loosing him and my heart breaks for the parents of those poor children.

I know from experience how it feels to loose a child my very sweet, very loved and talented nephew passed away at only 14 years old in the summer of 2005 and I saw first hand what it did to my siste and her husband. It's never easy to say goodbye.

Cannot imagine the plight of kids caught in this tragedy.. My heart is filled with grief and I pray to God to keep us all away from such horrors.

sorry i thought you're a she :)

i think if the children are old enough to protect themselves mothers really find a reason to work to help ease the financial burden within the family...

but if husbands earning well why work? children needs attention and love that only mothers can fill..some children are questioning why they seem to have an incomplete family..like father is always absent or working away from home..and if mothers are working too this situations mostly affect the behavior and growth of a child..worst they find good company from bad people outside..

so i think its better to stay at home and watch kids grow and guide them to goodness

if your husband earns enough to compensate your daily needs and extra needs as well, i think its better to stay at home and look after the kids..you will be able to give them love and care which they need the most..and how wonderful it could be coming from mom..not from any other paid hands..

after this incident i pushed away all my ambitions of having a good career or whatever..my daughter is the most valuable possesion i have and i will not compromise her with anything inthis world..i think this is what we call MOTHERLY LOVE :)

i've wanted so much to go back to work but after that terrible event in villagio, i realized that the best place for me is right beside my daughter..

as a mom i can not imagine the sorrow of the families who have lost their loved ones..my heart bleed as well and there is only one thing i can do...today, i offer my prayer to the grieving family..May Allah give them enough strength to bear the loss..Allah bless the souls of the little ones and heal the wounds of those injured and in trauma..

Since details of this tragedy unfolded I have been battling much emotion and stress too. In fact despite being on QL every now and then I've not been able to post due to my inability to think straight let alone form a sentence. But I am going to make every effort to contribute here:

I know what you mean. Truly. So many things we take for granted that we never know when we might very well lose. God forbid! Every morning before she leaves for school my kiddo tends to irritate me, acting all fussy. So much so that at times I don't even hug or kiss her wholeheartedly, just try to push her outta the door fast. But never again after now,Insha Allah! To think those parents who lost what is more precious than life itself under such shocking a situation, and that they would probably give all they can to have them back but can't, is beyond imagination for me.

And now all I can do is try to be a better parent. A more loving parent and not take for granted the love and presence of my child no matter how irritated and hormonal I may feel.

Death can come to us all anytime. But as a parent to live to see your child go is beyond painful. We all need to take a lesson from this sorrowful event.
