Dear hive friends, it's Raqii again.
How are you guys?
It's been awhile since I post a blog. I just wanna share my life happenings last month before it ends.
July to September month we always gather because we are celebrating the birthday of my uncle (end of June),cousin, grandma and grandpa, and of course, their death anniversary.
We go to the cemetery early because my auntie wants us to have our lunch in there. For that day, not all relatives have attended because some of them are far from the city. We celebrated July for the birthday of my grandpa and my uncle (who is now both in heaven) and August for the birthday of my grandma and death anniversarry of our beloved cousin (who also both in heaven).
We always have a picnic like celebration when visiting them. We bring a tent, table and chairs. We also bring foods for sharing.
While waiting for others I took the time to walk and take a pictures. When others came, we decided to eat our lunch but first I help my aunt to prepare a food for our deceased family. In our country, it was a culture to give our deceased family a food and put it in their grave as we believe that they can also eat with us.
While eating, we reminisce our past years together with them. We talked about the days when they are still alive and all the funny moments.
After eating, we take a bit break and rest. At around 3pm we decided to pack up and put back our things in the cars as it was like rain will pour anytime.
I missed them especially my cousin. He was a boy but I am close to him, we used to live in our auntie house when we are young. We are both the oldest in our family but I am the oldest between the two of us. He was the one who taught us to play games in computer also. I am super sad when he gone.
(Me and my cousin, it was old so it is blurred. It was also our graduation day.)
(Our celebration when grandpa is still with us, I cannot find some old picture of my lola and uncle celebrating their birthdays. The one who is holding the mic was my deceased uncle)
Now, we need to move forward because we have still life to live. They are physically gone but they will always be in our hearts. We are now happy and we also happy because we always make time to celebrate an event like this. It was also a one moment that I will cherish forever. We have a different life but we always give time to celebrate the birthdays of them and I am happy because I am belong to this kind of family. This is all for now. Thank you for stopping by and reading my blog. I don't know if you understand my blog today but you can ask me in the comment if want to know something. Nexttime I will post here our family gatherings ☺️
