Waiting for my dear sister's arrival

In less than a month, my dear sister and her two kids will be in the United States.

While I can understand and feel sorry for her reluctant departure from our family and her friends in Singapore, I can't wait for her to get here.

Although she will be in Ohio due to her husband's enrollment in the Masters degree at the Wright State University, I am glad that I am just four states away (1,020 miles or 1,642 km) from her.

Sometimes I wonder why on earth Allah SWT would put me in the United States, but now I am glad that He did that. At least my sister has a family member in a foreign land to ease her loneliness.

Now is she or am I the lucky one?
