Ramadhan is nearing its ending and Syawal is rearing to arrive. What is normally a joyous occasion for me personally is not so joyous this year around... I supposed it is normal to miss our dearly departed more profoundly during festive times. Memories of goodtimes during the festivities make me miss my mother all the more profound. It was only 37 days ago that she was still with us... We are not even going back to my hometown this HR!
But I am a mother, too. I must try overcome the sadness and make this hariraya as joyous as possible for my family esp. the kids. The boys will be back from their hostels in two days time. They will expect the house to be spic and span and in readiness for raya. Ummph... the ones at home are also urging that we redecorate the house to inject some kind of raya magic into the atmosphere... aaahs...Dear kids, please forgive me if I fail to raise up to your expectations...

We can always find time to go back to JB. After all it is only a 3-hour drive, and by the way you 'behave' all along I think it is all the better that we make an effort to go back.
