the thought of iftar-ing at my aunt's place later, brings memories of my late first aunt, & ultimately, my maternal granny. i miss them. & it doesnt help, that i am constantly accompanied with ibu's silent tears. she misses them too. & we often remind ourselves of their favourite dishes - we linked fauwaz's mee bandung, with ubek wue constantly cooking that dish for iftar, then; ami's favourite tapai with nenek's love for them; my favourite botok-botok, & how much nenek love them. i really miss them.

al-fatihah to them, & insyALLAH they will be placed with those people who are with iman, & may ALLAH reserve them a spot in heaven. amin.
