Good morning, THE END OF RAMADAN Belated Eid Mubarak to my Muslim friends. The end of Ramadan was last Friday and I can’t believe I missed an appropriate acknowledgement of the event. Observing Ramadan, the annual month of fasting, is one of the five pillars of Islam. As our Muslim friends approach Eid al-Fitr (the festival at the end of Ramadan), it is tradition to provide alms to the needy (charity being one of the other four pillars of the faith).
When my brother was pregnant with his first child, or more accurately his wife at the time was pregnant, I bought them a book on names. The preface had a quote that I will never forget...”sticks and stones may break your bones, but a name can fuck you up forever.” Truer words were never written.
