They told me she might not recognise me but she did without a doubt she knew exactly who I was and what I meant to her. How wouldn’t she, She raised me thought me the values that I know today she thought me difference between right and wrong. She was there when I took my first steps and when I played my first pranks.
The surprising thing is she always told everyone how innocent I was and what a clean heart I had she did the same today. However among all my cousins I am probably the most fucked up one how can I be innocent? But no doubt it always makes me feel really special. Even in the “bed rest” condition as I entered the first order from her to everyone there was to get me food to eat. I have always been treated specially by her and I don’t know why.
I am her only child who doesn’t visit her as often and I know that’s not such a good thing but its true. I can’t stand family or the rules and regulations they fallow. When they talk about their beliefs it pisses the fuck out of me. Anyway it was such a pleasure to meet her I know the amount of shit I get away with in my life purely because of luck I know its all because of her prayers and blessings.
Yes there is a part of me that believes in them. She is my fortune of good luck and will always be. I know I wouldn’t be half the man I was without her upbringing. As a kid my parents were never around with my dad in Dubai and mom at work she has raised me. In return I have given her nothing not that she wants or needs anything from me. But I know someday when I make something out of myself she will be so proud no matter where she is. I will never forget the moments we have shared they are tucked away in the back of my mind they prevent me from losing the righteous path.

  1. I know exactly how you feel. Grandmothers are this incrimental part of our upbringing which we never really realise. Sure, we care for them and love them, but how often do we express these sentiments to them? And yet they give themseleves up selflessly for us...

    Hold her close to you in your heart, Asad. Remember that in the larger scheme of things, memories are all we will have left. And do visit her; you never want to regret not having spent enough time with her.

    Love you hommie.
