And the Smiles Linger

Dad is still here..
Waiting for the day he'd see those happy eyes again
The crisp laughter that fills the living room
The merry-making that had seen the good days
But for now he is contented by just
Wallowing in the silent memory
For the smiles linger, long after you are gone.



And the smiles linger, on and on.. and on...

AM

I am glad to be missed by you and Queen. and I do hope many other respected friends would notice my humble re-surface.

My girls I do miss, and my boys too.Are we destined to live a life away from our children as they grow and have families of their own?

Sometimes one turns the clock back BUT, alas, only the hands move backward, but time journeys on. Sighhhh

Thanks for making it here AM

Love your entry on NLP

Nice to see you here again.

Fauziah.. I am warm and glad to be missed. Will be here savouring great company and friendship.

Thanks Fauziah.. I still remember those books you kept under the bed, and they belonged to your dad. And so too your NGO work with flood victims and the like, I do envy your energy.

May you be happy always

Thanks for your relentless return to this page.

Simahhhhhh... *hugs* too

I am here to stay. Wont go missing with no purpose again. Yes.. alhamdulilah I am feeling good. And so is the family. Will grow in number soon too.

I am in the south but KL is just 3-4 hour drive. Now that my Maria(s) are all in KL, and my Architect son and his IT wife too started home in KL, the more reason for CB to be there.

Will meet up with Halil and you and Hatice and Badin, inshaAllah.

Yes I do have your e-mail Sim, will send you my HP no.

Keep smiling. I remember your ordeal with the burglar.. and that was hair-raising.
