"Times has changed and nothing was as good as it had once been..."

| (My beloved abah and emak) |
The last days of Ramadhan were spent with my sick parents in Melaka.
Looking at them lying on their bed made me feel very sad. At times like today, my mum would be busy in the kitchen. And my father would be on his motorcycle to and fro buying provisions. Now, I could no longer hear my mum's celoteh while cooking juadah raya, nor the sound of my abah's motorcycle. I miss the aroma of spices and the smell of my favorite rendang cili api.
Those were the good old days. I look back to the past and wish that life with my parents could be normal once again. Things have changed dramatically, and I will never feel those same old joyful feelings.
Alhamdulillah I am blessed. I still have my parents when others have loss theirs. And I'll make spending time with them count...
"SELAMAT HARI RAYA EIDIL-FITRI"

ReplyDeleteKak mun beruntung masih mempunyai emak abah, walaupun mereka sudah terlantar. Hanya doa, kasih sayang dan belaian anak2 membuat mereka selesa dan tabah menempuh derita kesakitan.
Kak mun balik Melaka tiap2 minggu dari Selasa hingga Khamis utk menjaga emah abah, bergilir dgn adik2 yg masih bekerja...
