a letter of love to our first child - Chakierra Farzana Siregar (Kierra)

Assalamu'alaikum wr. wb.,
Dear Our Lovely Baby,


Baby, today is your birthday, the day of our happiness, your mom and your dad. By the time you're in your mom's belly for about 40 weeks, we always prayed for you every day, whispered all the best things and did the best we could. Now, we should be more grateful. Alhamdulillah, you are truly here with us. Our prayers have been answered. You are really an amazing and beautiful grace of our lifetime. We are very happy and really touched to be your parents. That's why, we write this first letter, a letter of love for you baby, expressing our deep grattitude at your presence. Baby, you're born as our little girl with a weight of 3.3 kg and 50 cm length by caesarean section, another wonderful story that we could tell you later. May Allah always keeps you in a good health and blessed.

Here, we also would like to introduce your name, Chakierra Farzana Siregar (Kierra). First name, Chakierra's origin is old English. Leaving your mom with a beautiful little blessing in her 12 weeks pregnant on duty to London, UK, inspired your dad for this part. People say that the first 12 weeks (3 months) is the most critical time of the pregnancy. Chakierra means "wise". Then, your dad and your mom also decided that "Chakierra" is another name for "Shakira" (gratefully), it's origin is Arabic. Second name, Farzana's origin is Arabic - French. Your mom was very fond of this part, it sounds beautiful, she said. Farzana means "intelligent". And the last name, Siregar, of course our familiy's name, means as far as you go, you could still back home, to our beloved and blessed home. We do hope that, insya Allah, you could grow up to be a sholehah, intelligent, and wise woman, especially in keeping the faith on the right path, struggling and maintaining the truth, facing challenges and problems in life as well as developing science and knowledge.

Baby Kierra, your mom's name is Alien Nur Intan, your dad's name is Binsan Siregar and your name is Chakierra Farzana Siregar. From day to day, you will find that we are imperfect parents. We hope that your presence would changes our lives for the better. As a mandate from God, we will do our best to take care you and be always at your side to understand the meaning of life. Allah, our God, provides Islam as the way of life. He is The Almighty. May Allah, shows us the right path in nurturing and educating you. We love you so much baby Kierra.

with love always,
ayah & bunda
