Introduction
Abdullahi was the first to speak.
"Abo's coming home, Hoyo? Wallahi?" Hoyo nodded as the tears began to run down her cheeks.
"Haa, haa! He finally found a way to get out, to come to us."
Abdullahi smiled and shook his head. "Alhamdulillah! Alhamdulillah! That is fantastic news!" He gave Hoyo a hug and she laughed through her tears.
"Alhamdulillah!" she cried, "Allah is Great!"
Then Ahmed went to hug her and, though I was numb with shock, I got up too, for Hoyo. She held us all, looking into our faces with new pride, her eyes shining.
"Just wait until he sees what a fine family he has, masha Allah," she said proudly.
