My best friend fr! Reconnected with him at 16 after not seeing him for more than 7 years (him not being around wasn’t voluntary yet somehow my dumbass still held a grudge and a lot of resentment). https://twitter.com/rofivelli/status/1254281777889370115">https://twitter.com/rofivelli...

I was sooo bad to this man I wouldn’t answer his calls, pretended he didn’t exist, and literally didn’t care (lowkey think it was my own way of coping since he was in a bad place and could die any second and I just didn’t want further trauma)

It’s weird going to having no positive male role model to an amazing dad. He encouraged me to apply to unis I felt I wouldn’t get into, made me feel valid, explored my interests with me, made me relearn the Quran, he’s kind and funny, non judgmental, I really love him tbh.

My dad is 100% the reason I’m still muslim today. I used to struggle with Islam a lot and without his kindness and relentlessness in teaching me about Islam my iman would be non existent. He’s also the reason why I’m going to therapy/ helped lessen my suicidal ideation.

this thread has me deeping how much we’ve gotten through and I’m lowkey tearing up I really love that man may Allah preserve him.
