The Trail of Misadventures

The trail began 9 years ago...My wife said that its about time, and I looked at her with a smile that can be characterised as 'happy, yet unsure'. Soon, we reached the hospital, with my in-laws, and counted the hours to come. I watched other soon to be fathers, waiting...and for your information, pacing back and forth only happens in movies..
Anyway, our doctor advised me to be together with my wife to witness the miracle of birth...and it was a miracle I didn't faint. My wife was in pain, yet she managed to smile...after a long wait, Iman was held in my hand for the first time. Congratulations, I had graduated from being a bachelor, to husband, to a father! As I began to 'azan' in his ear, I held his tiny hands...tis true as the saying goes, none could melt a million worry than a gaze from an innocent child. Thus, my adventures, or misadventures began...
