A Day of Joy

It's been sometime that I have driven a long distance journey. Alhamdulillah. The weather was on my side. Clear blue sky almost all the way to Seberang Prai with the exception of a few minutes of sudden rain. It was a pleasant journey with my sister and her young ones. We talked all the way and before we know it we have arrived our destination. A good 4 hours drive with a short pit stop in Simpang Pulai.

And its been sometime that I have been up north. It reminded me of those days when we drived regularly as a family to visit our eldest girl who was in a college in Pematang Pauh. That was like 3 years back. And this time around the reason for the journey is the marriage of our nephew who has chosen a bride from the north. The nikah was today and tomorrow will be the reception at the bride's family. And immediately after we will make our way back home.

Yup. Its just a one nighter. But its worth the journey. To see the happy faces. The tears of joys. And the glowing bride and bridegroom, filled with anticipation of a bright future together. 

Life is full of promises. Create and treasure every moment. Make the most of your time together. And appreciate one another. Thats my advice. 

May Allah bless this union and may He grant you happiness till the end of time.

Aameen.
