Hello precious friends!
It's been a while since I could not post because of the rush hour of the business we are having here in Karachi. As you know we have come to the Karachi to stay with our younger son in his newly rented house. My younger son was supposed to come to home(khairpur) during his winter holidays but my eldest son suggested that we should join his brother instead and help him with setting up the house that had nothing except roof over the walls. So we all are busy in buying necessary stuff for his home. Since my eldest son is noticing excitement of his younger brother about his new home he is spending lot to make it comfortable for him. He has been ordering various things online which are arriving slowly. I will share images once everything is done hopefully.
How true that life is mixture of joy and sadness. Seeing kids grown well enough to take responsibilities for themselves is greatest pleasure and peace of mind for any parents but at the same time sense of departure and concerns how they gonna do so dominate heart when we see them going away. Laws of Nature are strict and for the betterment of us and making peace with them brings serenity to the soul I believe though. Sharing few photos of our outing with and without our eldest son as he is back to his office works until Christmas holidays that are just two :(
This is from where my eldest son has rented an office so he can focus on his work. He invited us to show the place and then we shopped some furniture for the house. Habbit(place name) had everything quite expensive so we dropped the idea of personal shopping.
kids grow up so fast. Best wishes to your young son with his health.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely family!
ReplyDeleteIt is great you could take the time to visit and help your son! Such handsome men! Best wishes for the future studies!
ReplyDeleteYour boys have grown up very quickly. It's hard to let them go but we must let them find their way. Once the kids are gone we find other things to occupy our time.
ReplyDeleteFamily time is always a blessing.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend
Your sons are very handsome! Good luck to both of them!
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice that brothers help each other. I know that their kindness towards each other comes from how you raised them. You have a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing them with us. Blessing my friend.
ReplyDeleteIt's always lovely to spend family time.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing these photographs.
My good wishes.
All the best Jan
God Bless you and your family. Ameen.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see you all having a nice time together, you Baili, look about 20 years younger, so relaxed and happy! I guess that's what having your family around you does for your spirit and well being :) I hope your son finds a way to balance his work life with the right amount of rest. Betty
ReplyDeleteThis is nice.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck https://edit.co.in/
ReplyDeleteLooks like a pleasant family outing. Lovely to see your family relaxed and enjoying the day
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful photos, Baili! How wonderful to get together and enjoy each other's company. I hope you are doing well and life is bringing you joy. Sending you lots of hugs, my lovely friend. Blessings to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of a family enjoying time together :-)
ReplyDeleteBuon Natale a te e a tutti coloro che porti nel cuore.
ReplyDeleteLovely family photos, dear Baili. Such handsome and intelligent young men - you must be so proud of them! Yes, it is difficult to see them grow up and be out in the world on their own, but you have raised them well to see them accomplish this next stage of life. It is a bittersweet moment. You will feel sad for a while, but then you will find joy in their accomplishments and maybe someday, having families of their own that you can enjoy. I remember this time of life when my children left home and I feel your heart. Sending you hugs and blessings xx K
ReplyDeleteBaili, this was a wonderful post to see the photos of your sons and you and your husband. How exciting that your son is moving into a home! I liked the photo of you by the pool even if the fountain didn’t cooperate and turn on.
ReplyDeleteWow, time has really been flying by, Baili! I'm busy packing for our trip to Honolulu on Tuesday. I've been taking a little break and enjoying your family's adventures.
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned that your middle son's hectic schedule is affecting his health. My niece Natalie, who is in vet school in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada has spent a lot of time advocating for the mental and physical health of her fellow veterinary students. She even received a leadership award for it. On New Year's Day she shared what she has learned: "Don't do stuff you don't feel like doing. Set healthy boundaries with friends and family. Make sure you eat and move. Pack you lunch and prepare for tomorrow like a toddler. (Here she posted a photo of everything she needed laid out for the next day at university.) Don't forget to take care of yourself FIRST!"
I told her that I was still struggling with these things. But what she wrote hit me, and it's partly why I took a timeout from my business to catch up with you. Blessings to you and your loved ones.
