And just when I was starting out again at my blog. Hopefully, your break now - and I can't take this except as a break - will prove beneficial in the long run, inshaallah.

I don't mind a long blog break in that case, but i hope you will come back. Everything that has REALLY inspired change in me has been in book form, not blog form. I am proud of you for taking this difficult step. May Allah make it easy on you and give you success. I pray the boys are doing well, may Allah keep them for you healthy and happy and from the righteous.
