بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

If we did not feel the absence of something, how could we appreciate its presence? Often we cannot understand a blessing until we have it no more, as we realize what it truly meant to us only after it's something we no longer know. 

Alhamdulillah though, there are times in life where He brings the circle around again, and not in some mere repetition of what went before. But instead, it is a small precursor of things to come, an arrow pointing nowhere but forward. There, inside of a time we haven't yet existed, there, in it, is the reason for being.
