Ramadhan has left and the next thing you know, it's Day 5 of Syawal. There's a lot of visiting happening and open houses here and there. Such love and joy filling up the air.
This year is slightly different for my family and I. My Dadi recently left us in March. I miss my Dadi and Dada loads. I miss annoying them, kissing their hands on the first day of Syawal, seeking forgiveness from them. I miss meeting long-time no see extended family members at their place and looking into the family tree to see how we are all interconnected. All that is gone now, but blessing comes in other ways.
Some of my mom's siblings gathered at our place on the first day of Syawal. My uncle from Japan returned to celebrate Eid with us as a family. My elder brother and his family came over as always to liven up the spirit of Eid. It was such a nice feeling, having family members unite as one.
Before we could fully enjoy it, the day goes by and we're back to work the next day. After work, we are out visiting our extended family members and friends all over the country. Perhaps that is the beauty of Eid, strengthening our family bond, making amends and excuses to do good.
To everyone out there, this may come a little late, but Eid Mubarak to all Muslims from all over the world and happy holidays to everyone else.
