Went for my khala’s wedding in the US. I was just 13. But my khala is so close to me. It was her mehndi day and I started crying because I just felt sad that she was getting married. Good days and also the first time I visited Umreeka and made many memories.
7 years later I visited her again when she had a her first baby. Amazing memory. I saw childbirth and it made me value life and my own mother so much indeed.
Most recently, a friend’s baby shower. I became to close to this girl and group of friends just a year and a half back. But funny how close we have become. Baby shower was so fun and yes I was happy because I knew a baby will be coming soon.. And I just love babies. <3
For me it was hiking up the Whistler mountain in the Rockies in Alberta, It is not a monumental feat but I am getting up there in age and being very busy at work I was not hitting the gym on a regular basis, I packed bags and went on a one man camping and hiking trip. I was very stupid though as this is Bear country and you should not hike alone. The view was spectacular though, next day was a 20k hike at valley of five lakes, never saw a more beautiful place in my life. After completely devoting myself to taking care of Mom, wife and kids that was alone time in a long time, pitching the tent right besides the river and gazing at millions of stars and the mountains and listening to the roaring river and howling wolves was thrilling beyond belief.
The day my son was born .. man! I was almost sure I would die that day and then I saw him coming , saans ruk gayi , eyes wide open , I watched him .. minutes later , husband got to hold him first , I could only ask , am I still alive or is my soul floating already!
Wow , it was a good day Alhumdullillah .. I still think his first cry brought me back to life coz I was totally done for !
