I’m going through something like that now with my Mak, but more of Being With Mak (back in the kampong where she prefers to be). <BR/><BR/>Alhamdulillah, although quite frail (she’s 82), so far she has no major problems. She can move about, waters her favourite pokok, still can do whatever housework she feels like doing (I still cant match her fried-fish, kerabu and sayur pedas), has good appetite, reads Quran regularly, etc. Only that she doesn’t like to go out and will only do for important reasons like collecting her pension (every 2-3 months) or ziarah kematian. She gets very bored (orang Terengganu kata “puah”, you can check with AG ) if we were to take her back to KL for more than 2 weeks. Memang ta’ sampai hati tengok dia ‘puah sunggoh’. <BR/><BR/>Since my eldest brother and me have retired (the others are still working), we take turn to commute from KL, every other month, for the past 1 year or so (just a few months before my father passed away). We are still able to persuade her to take short vacation in KL every 5-6 months. Initially, it was pretty boring for me too since I seldom put up that long in kampong (having left home after primary schooldays). It got better after a few months and it’s much better now after I subscribed to Streamyx last December. Itu yang giler dok baca Blogs. MY only concern is the extra pounds that I gained past few months with all the nasi dagang, nasi kerabu and kueh2. <BR/> <BR/>Your posting and readers’ comments serve a very good reminder to me, to be thankful to Allah, for being able to be with Mak now. <BR/><BR/>So sorry, don’t mean to be too lengthy. Have a good and safe trip home (?). I’m sure you are missing the family. Take care.
