A few times our moods were awful in these 42 years - but never did they last more than a few minutes. Better, though, was that many more times our moods were very good. However, 'one reason' why our marriage worked out so well was that for the majority of our lives our moods were absolutely gorgeous.
I said 'one reason' only because we were wedded by Maulana Ehtesham-ul-Haque Thanvi ~ he was my father-in-law's favourite 'voice' - and became 'Thanvi', I think, after he came out of the 'thaana' ;) ~ and I always used to say I disliked him and, therefore, our nikaah never really got performed and we are happy because we are living in sin!

The coming of Ragni has added even more to our lives …
… and I thought of Douglas Adams several times today!

The peace and joy these faces bring. *heart*
