Labor Day & Ramadhan al-Mubarak
|
|
EncikHusband and I went down to Gettysburg for a quick getaway. We initially planned to head out on Friday after work but he thought it'd be nice to 'make' me watch the movie 'Gettysburg' before we went on Saturday. I survived the 4 hr movie with a nap in between. Trust me, it was long but exciting. I got to know all generals, colonels, infantry, cavalry, artillery, etc. so it did make the auto tour of the national military park a lot easier. there were so many monuments, about 10000 pieces, around the 25 miles square battlefield. The place is huge and sacred. So many disturbing images; dead army and sailors and animals. Anyhoo..
Unexpectedly, I'll be going to Texas to visit Mom on Friday. It'll be a short trip as though Dad asked me to help him out to get Mom settled at home after being hospitalized for 2 weeks. She'd gone through a minor surgery on her lung and the doctors found a few abression in it. Her lung was sticking onto her chest wall, in which it was not supposed to so it was believed to be the cause of her back chest pain. It'll take her about 1-2 months to fully recover with no heavy lifting and active moving. She also was diagnosed with sudden inflammatory response. But being she is, it'll be hard to confine her so that's why I'm needed there. A few days is still plenty according to Dad, afterall, he paid for my roundtrip flight down there. EncikHusband will not be going with me because of work and school and again, it's not vacation. As much as I hate missing work, I think this justifies family emergency, don't you think? What would you guys do if you were in my position?
I talk to her for a minute of two, here and there but she sounds very tired, and her voice is soft. Please pray for her speedy recovery.
EncikHusband & I would also like to wish "Selamat Berpuasa Kepada Ummat Islam Seluruh Dunia"
