Sweet Memories

We all have someone in our family whom, for whatever reason, we are very attached to. Let’s share some sweet memories we have shared with that person =)

To me, that favourite person is my grandfather (dada abu). I was always his favourite, among all my siblings. He passed away way too soon, but I still remember moments spent with him so vividly as if it happened yesterday. He had a huge library of suspense digests and Urdu literature. When his eyesight became weak, I used to read to him and before I knew it, I fell in love with books myself. He used to lift me up on his shoulder when going for a walk around town. During PTV drama time, I would sit in his lap and sometimes fall asleep peacefully. Other times, he would doze off and I would pinch his cheeks lightly and all the kids would laugh. He used to bring us chocolates but I would get the first pick and my siblings hated me for that. I don’t get angry very easily but when I do, I become very quiet and shut myself in my room. As a child, it used to be worse. Hehe But my grandfather was the one person who could always put me in a good mood. He would take me to the bazaar on his scooter and get me whatever I wanted. I always felt so protected and loved.
May he rest in peace.

^ that's very sweet. May Allah grant your dada abu a place in jannah ul firdous. Ameen

I was very attached to my nana. He would take me shopping and buy me whatever I wished for, he would buy me ice cream whenever we were in Pakistan , take me to the park and we would go fishing together . I have actually really been missing my nana, lately.
