Fatherhood At Age 24 - 1987.

My daughter's wedding recently, prompted me to reflect upon my experience of my being a father.

I became a young father at age 24 when my daughter, Nur Amalina was born in 1987. By Allah most graciousness, she was born on the same date as me, 8th of November. On that evening before her birth, I had fever and headache. I rested at the couch outside the labour room until the nurse called me in when it was due. I held my wife's hand and I was excited to experience the birth of my child.

From her birth, to her childhood and her growing up years, I have the most joyful time as a father.


My son, was born on 23 March 1994. Once again, I was by my wife's side during the birth process. I am glad that I was able to witness the birth of my kids. The experience was really hard to describe.

My two kids presented different set of challenges but overall, they are both wonderful kids. I have lots of fun memories of them while they were growing up.
