I remember seeing you lying
in one of those beds. Sweating. Trying to get off the dope. And succeeding. The Muslim faith and its
practices saved my life. And I saved
your baby's life when you weren't there

practices saved my life. And I saved
your baby's life when you weren't there
to take care of her. You carried her to term,
