This breaks my heart. I wish I could take away the suffering and hardships that our people especially children have to go through every single day. We can’t possibly imagine how it must feel to lose not only one parent but both parents at such a young age. Every single day Zahir and I talk to our children and try to instil humbleness, appreciation for what we have and we literally drill it into our

I had recognized it as cradle cap because my eldest daughter Zia also had it when she was a baby. Anyway, this was around the same time his baby eczema started.
