Togetherness...

Huh... huh!  Have to keep on blogging religiously!

Just recovered from illness...my hubby took me to my mom's and later to his mom's...We left Rayyan (our eldest son) at my mom's after breaking the fast there with Harith, Abang Ngah and the rest...Then, off to his mom's place, where we gather with that side of family...I think it's wonderful to be blessed - with two loving families...

Rayyan chose to stay the night at my mom's and Razin (our second son) chose to spend the weekend at my mother-in-law's...leaving Rizqin (youngest son) alone with us tonight...

The kids had fun - played fire cracker, met their uncles and aunts, being spoil by their grandparents, etc.  Now that it's the local fruits season, everything (fruits) around my mom's place are riping tremendously - the rambutans, durians, cempedak, mangosteen and what not...So I took some to my mother-in-law's for everybody to enjoy...

My mother seems very happy lately, now that my Abang Ngah comes home more often - it's the 'Mother-n-Son' bonding thingy...With Harith, Raafiee and Abang Ngah around, my routine is enlightened by 90% as compared to the last Ramadhan when my mom was bed ridden...

It's been two years since my dear father passed away and I must say that it is the first time ever since, I am able to see my mom happy again--eating well, smiling, laughing but there was never a day she failed to mention about my late father.

It really eats me up inside each time she talks about my father...A love so sincere and dear...There was a day when I tried to cheer my mom with some oldies numbers and when the song "I Did It My Way" played, she said "Oh, Ayah suka lagu ni, Ayah punya favorite"...and everyone became suddenly quiet --lost in their own thoughts about Ayah / Aki...

The point is, TOGETHERNESS is a therapy for those with broken wings...There is a point in your life some day (if not now), you'll find that nothing else matters other than 'togetherness'...It really feels good when we can be together with the people we love - parents, spouse, siblings, friends (true friends) and team members...To me, team members are crucial to get things done (this refers to the English Unit-you know who you are)...

We have to live in serenity to be happy and that serenity is TOGETHERNESS...it's not the food that we eat, it's not the house we live in, it's not the car we drive, it's not the clothes we wear but it's the sense of belonging, the love, the unity and everything that comes along with it that keep us going...

I am blessed to be placed here with my love ones and these include Allah, Rasulullah pbuh, my parents, my family, my friends, my children (at home and in college)...Alhamdulillah...
