We used to take walks after dinner and chat about everything. After getting married, I truly missed them and that is something we still do whenever we are together.
2. What is your favorite memory with her?
A talk we had a long time ago, which I still remember every word of and still wander back to when I feel lost. I guess I was 12 then
"Every relationship has its own place and nature, not every relationship needs your love and care, some will just require your presence, some will require hard work and patience and some will just follow the waters. You’ll decide how you want each relationship to be but remember just because you love them and would walk through fire for them, it doesn’t mean they will too or have to. Your expectations in a relationship should never be based on “but I would do that for you”.

We care for the little things.
Going window shopping- she’s the only one who matches my patience and stamina when it comes down to it. It’s the best time!
Patient, loving, generous with herself and her time
Everything! My mom is a master chef- the kind that everyone in the family waits for a dawat invite from! I wish I had even a quarter percent of her haaton ka maza! Lately though, it’s been her maahi qaliya… Mmmm so good.
The way we gush over babies it’s this hyperactive I’m going to squish those cheeks till they pop kind of gushing haha.

Going on shopping trips/long drives/mother-daugter chats/sipping on chai/watching pakistani drama-serials together. I too miss my single life days :-/
Intelligent, self-made, generous
Sarsoun ka saag
We are both softies at heart; no matter what happens we must do the ‘right’ thing no matter how difficult.
Weekend morning, when I was a kid…mom wold let me sleep in and spend the morning making halwa puri nastha. When I woke up, I’d know she was cooking. The game was…I’d wake up, call out “Mommmmmmmmmm” and she’d know I was awake. She’d then come in and give me a billion hugs and kisses before I got out of bed.

Goat yakhni pulao. People keep trying to hire her but she says no.
i was very young when she passed away. i was like 9 years old. i remember putting my head in her lap and going to sleep whenever i got really tired.
i also remember her chasing me around to put oil in my hair…i hated it but at the end i would let her do that.
