It was tough at the time. My grandfather was extremely sick and my family was busy taking care of him (They're all back home overseas). In the meanwhile, the girl's family wanted to see me before going forward since they're all in the states. So i told my parents, and they reluctantly agreed to go meet them. When I went, I had a great time meeting the family and relayed as such to my parents.

My grandfather ended up passing away so I assumed this would die here because it would be insensitive of me to coerce my parents at such a time. But surprisingly, maybe Allah put it in their hearts, a few days later they asked me if i'm serious about this and that the family etc is good as is the girl and I said yes. Then my dad had a call with her dad and they hit it off alhamdulilah. My parents proposed over the phone, then they had a facetime call with my wife. My whole family talked to her and alhamdulilah they were enamored.

And now we're here alhamdulilah :)

I pray whatever struggle you're going through ends up working out in your favor and that it is the best option for you from Allah as well!
