Controversies and Kindergarten

Posted on the 11 January 2014 by Mommymasala @Zaharas_mommy
Some of you might have heard of some recent videos and news stories about Zahara's biological father that are circulating online and in the Pakistani and Indian media.

Maybe you're wondering if you should reach out to me or my family, out of sympathy or curiosity or a combination of the two.

Let me set the record straight.

The most important piece of news in my life and Zahara's is that she has been registered for kindergarten this week M'A and will begin there in the fall.

The videos that I'm watching are of Zahara singing a song from "Frozen", doing a magic trick, watching fireworks and dancing with me on the Disney cruise we took last week, and "what does the fox say" because that song makes us both giggle and dance around like crazy people.

I survived the blizzard and polar vortexing at work and a cancellation of a 500+ passenger plane and returned to work to find people had "heard stories" of my 15-hour shift and thought me a hero.

I don't pretend my life is perfect or I'm perfect, but my daughter and I are perfectly content pursuing our dreams and living our own lives.

Any other news you've heard or will hear is inconsequential.

We are surrounded by our friends and family and most importantly the love and laughter and strength we provide each other.

If you'd like any other exciting updates on our lives, I've got tons of stories for you, regarding the kinds of things every normal 4-year-old and parent go through together...because despite the most recent controversy in her father's life, Zahara and I are quite normal, silly, human people with all of the challenges and triumphs and dysfunctions of every family out there.

This is all I'm going to say on this subject. Thank you for respecting my stance on this matter.
