mom

It's a great blessing when at this ripe age, your mom is still around. How nice to be able to spend time talking to her, show great affection for her and listen tentatively to her advice and gossips. Her heart delighted and you can see happiness on her wrinkled face the moment she sees you, welcomes you or greet you.
"Lama tak mai" she will say, as if we have not visited her for years long. The irony is that only last week we came and see her. She is not nyanyuk but to an old lady, (she's almost 86), staying at home (my adik perempuan's house) doing nothing and sometime alone, a week seems a long time. I think almost all parents feel the same, longing to have their kids around them.
So when my daugther sms to me asking for my credit card number to buy online return flight home, I happily gave. My wife and I love to see her (other kids too) home and it's always true that three heads is better than two. We spent time together and indulge in more lively and cheerful conversations. Although the meeting is short but its really meaningful. And mind you those sons and daughter who find time to visit their parents will be rewarded in the hereafter and considered as good deeds by Allah.
Prophet s.a.w says: You will be rewarded if you set your eyes on these 3 things: Firstly your parents that means you come and visit them regularly. Secondly the ulama that is be near to those that can give you knowledge of your religion. Thirdly the Kaaba, you are required to fulfill haj and umrah.
