Whatever starts at one time will, without doubt, reach the end of it all – with the only exception, the One and only One.
He is there at the very beginning and will continue to be there even at the end of time.
_________________________________
The beginning
For this couple it began in August FORTY NINE years ago, praying, hoping and believing that it would be a bed of roses all the way. Half way to the present the couple multiplied to become five, having seen the arrival of three members of the second generation; very much to the couple's prayers and expectation.
Two plus three young ones - halfway to the present
But today even the three young ones have aged as well
And today, forty nine years down the line, the original two have grown even larger in size with the arrival of another ten forming the third generation - not to mention the spouses of the the second generation.
Today's enlarged clan ( regretfully, one d-i-l and the smallest grandchild are not in the picture)
___________________________
Having successfully travelled this far do we deserve to celebrate?
Indeed, we do, with a day of fasting, humbled and with full of gratitude for the beds of roses that we, hand- in-hand, merrily danced through, and for giving us the patience to successfully struggle across every hedge and hurdle over the many years.

Dear Pakcik and Makcik,
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary! Alhamdullilah! The elation and feelings of love and affections can never be expressed and felt better than the loving couple themselves. It is an achievement in the face of all the struggles and sacrifices which now seemed only like playthings and only like yesterday. I share the joy and the happiness of your wonderful family, Pakcik and Makcik!
And a Golden Jubilee next year! Shukur Alhamdulilah. How nice! Praise be to the Almighty, ALLAH SWT for having extended His Blessings to you and your family! Amin!

Dear Nali,
The swarming of children and grandchildren around seems to have disrupted your meticulous routine. But having them around, especially during this period, is a rare joy.
Yes, I have got it.
NBK,
Walakum Salaam, NBK.
There, within sight of Kaabah, pray your heart's contents. Insya Alah you will be rewarded with something specia. I fully believe so, as long as we realise that we are nothing more than just a humble guest.
Wish you all the best.
Selamat pergi dan selamat kembali.

OmogMak Long,

Hope you have had a good break and Hari Raya back home. You are lucky to be able to see much more of the world than most of us are.
Happy Anniversary Pak Cik and Mak Cik! I am really happy looking at your family photos. You were really handsome young man and Mak Cik is as pretty as always. Alhamdulillah, Allah grants both of you such a blissful marriage and I really wish I could own one someday.

Dear Azmiera,
As they say; there is a time and a place for everything. One day, when you are standing in front of a patient, someone will say, " How good she is at her work and she has the look as well." Beauty wears off with time but your skill will get better. I envy you. We wish you well as always.
