A Poem for my Mom & Dad - Miss you much!

A Poem for Mak & Ayah Life is tough without you. Every single day, I wish you're around Taking care of us and others It is rough to go thru Facing all the things without a clue Sometime I regret  For I am not being fair  That you're mostly remembered When I am feeling despair Most people found it strange For making things difficult as it seemed None exactly knew  I am doing them for you..just the way you would do Today. I am with such a great relief  Alhamdulillah . I thank Allah for the strengths I thank Allah for the courage For easing things out for me For the support & love I got from people around Despite all - we managed to get 'em thru  For the doa, the compliments received All are because Allah has granted my doa, my wishes most priceless - Unite the family regardless  It's the best gift for mak & ayah May both of you receive the barakah  For the good things happened  Thank you for the...

My hubby has been on standby mode waiting for my signals to get things done. I am lucky, my maid seems to be supportive too.  When there is a wedding, the house needs spring cleaning. so that it is more presentable to the guests. Truth is, our ...
