I found this letter Mariam wrote to Mowla as I was going through some of her files — DL
Dear Mowla Bapa,
I come knocking at your door again.
You have been my friend all these years and I talk to you as my friend, and now I write to you as my friend. You have also been my guide, saviour and protector for always, and for that I am very grateful !!! Shukhar Mowla !!!
Dear Mowla, I am going through another rough time with my health and I need your help and divine intervention please. And please forgive me for my sins, Aameen.
I made a few requests of you and you graciously granted me 2 of 3.
- You helped us move from Eagle Lake
2. I am closer to Jamat Khana and have gone to Khane more often
3. Please grant me my third request — Please put me in remission for a few years so I can get stronger, go to Khane, do seva, and spend some quality time with my husband Douglas. Please, please, please, Amen.
DJ [Doug] has so many aspirations and is full of joy in our new house, so please for his sake let me share in some of that joy.
So please grant me some time and seva. Amen and Shukhar.
Please make these chemo treatments work and take away my fear and pain.
I remain your humble Murid,
ML
