chronicles of a doctor mom: To our friends and cousins who responded to my dates inquiry over at FB, thank you from the bottom of our grateful hearts! I only asked where to buy cheaper ones but we got dates for free! Back in my hometown, we always get free dates from KSA but here in the metro I didn’t know where to get one. The ones sold in the supermarkets are quite pricey. Hence the inquiry. I’m overwhelmed by the kindness I received, a friend who’s not in the metro even made an effort to ship her extra dates for me! I won’t mention your names so as to preserve the reward of your generosity. May Allah shower you with His bountiful blessings up to the nth generation of your families. Allahuma ameen! #iftarisnotthesamewithoutdates
