Nadeeka's Dad's Funeral

As I sat on my patio one afternoon, getting ready to leave for a M*sl*im birthday party, the sounds of anguishing cries filled my ears. Moments later someone ran into my yard to tell me that my good friends Nadeeka and Mirey had just found out that their dad had passed away. I ran to their house to comfort them and spent the rest of that week with them, whether loving on them or serving tea and cookies to visitors on and off for the seven days. The day of the actual ceremony and burial was brutal. I could not fight back the tears when I looked at my friend sobbing, only to know the truth in that her dad had never given his life to Papa. You see, Nadeeka began coming to Ladies Tea within the last year and has given her life to Papa. But she is the ONLY one in her family that is not B*d*h*st. This made it very hard on her, with not only the reality of his death, but all of the B*d*h*st ceremonies that they performed at her house. She's a single mom of two teenage kids, and her dad was her best friend. I held her that week and continue to help her walk this path of grief. Please pray for her heart. 

 In the very center of the crowd, I am holding up Nadeeka as she watches her dad's casket be lowered into the ground
