seated beside me today was LIFE.
a man and his lady.
preparing to break their fast as they have so many times over.
he asked her for his meds. she reminds him just how much to take.
just the two of them; at peace with life, at peace with the world.
having witness with their now hazy eyes together, youth-mid life crisis-old age
still very much together. very much in love. how lucky.
it was then i remembered how much i miss my grandpa. my totok.
just how much my grandma misses him, i can't probably understand.
how i wish we could all berbuka together just like when i was a kid.
all i know now is i definitely miss you totok.
thank you for spoiling me when i was a kid.
i love you. always.
DOT.

This post brought tears to my eyes. Lubna and I lost our grandpa, Jid a few years back..we still misses him loads. I bet Baba misses him more tho; she's getting more and more frail as each day passed.
Sad to say, she doesn't recognized most of us anymore. Some days I'll be her daughter, other days I'll be so-and-so's daughter. Never just Zainab..
They had a good life for more than 50 years. Hope Lubna, U and I would be blessed by Allah.always. *huGs*
i'Allah hun.
i'm sorry for your loss.
and dear, i bet Baba loves you just as much as she did the day u were born no matter who she remembers u as on a particular day. love runs deeper than words can ever convey.
*HUGS kuat kuat*
