“To my dearest husband and father of our beloved children,” she began, expressing her eternal gratitude for the love and strength he brought to their lives. “Though you may be gone, your love, legacy, and memory will forever be etched in my heart and the hearts of our children. Your presence in our lives was a blessing, and I’m so grateful for the time we had together.”

Ejaz remembered Siddiqui as an ideal father and husband, capable of bringing joy into their lives. “Your love, guidance, and support shaped me into the person I am today, and I couldn’t be more thankful. Our children were the lights of your life, and you were their rock, their hero, and their shining example,” she wrote.

Reflecting on the cherished moments they shared, Ejaz expressed her gratitude for the way he always put others before himself. “Your selflessness, kindness, and generosity inspired me every day,” she added.

Ejaz vowed to carry his memory in her heart forever, celebrating his life and the legacy he leaves behind through their children. “Rest in peace, my love. I’ll carry you in my heart forever.”

The touching tribute from Ejaz resonated with her followers, many of whom offered their condolences and prayers, appreciating her strength during this incredibly difficult time. Her daughters commended her courage and remembered the love their parents shared.

One of their children, Haya Talha, commented, “You were the best thing in his life maa, and he made sure he made it known even without words till his last breath. Thank you for loving daddy the way you did, I’m sure that’s all he wants you to know.”
