Life

Assalaamu Alaikum :D

I had the most busiest weekend. One of our family friends got married and we were invited to all of the parties. When South Asians get married, the wedding has about 4 parties. I must say, it was a beautiful wedding masha'Allah. They made such an adorable couple!

Marriage is such a blessing, but at the same time, it's so scary! Especially for the parents. I heard my parents talking the other day and they said something like "we raise our kids, prepare them, just to see them being taken by another". It's so true. Our parents raise us to be good moral people, teach us what life has to offer so that when we finally get married and enter another household, we will be ready to take on what the world has to offer.

It's an occasion that is happy and sad at the same time for your parents. They wait for this day for their child because of course they want to see them happy and finally settled with a good person. But at the same time, their child is being taken away from them. All those years they spent, loving, caring, nurturing and teaching ... will come to an end. But I guess it's a satisfying feeling to know that insha'Allah when they have their own family to raise, they can take the lessons from their parents and pass it down to their children. It's an ongoing cycle.

Personally, I hope to take everything my parents taught me and use it wisely in my future life. Eventhough I feel I have so much more to learn, I will do my best to continue seeking knowledge from them. There is no one like your parents masha'Allah.
