The day I think my grandfather will die I wear the brightest cheeriest pale yellow kurta with eyelet lace and formal buttons. The day my grandfather dies I wear the golden yellow kurta painted with hot pink roses and pearls. The day after my grandfather dies I wear the navy blue top with pearls at the collar, bells at the sleeve, and pearls at the cuffs. The days before, when all is well, I wear casual comfy clothes or pajamas. Does anyone else tend to dress up when things outside of your control are going awry? Put on lipstick even when your lips are down? Wearing my better clothes is the one thing I feel like I have in control right now. (Alhamdolillah for all the blessings.) #reemflections

#onwards My grandfather was in critical condition in the ICU and when my grandmother wanted to visit, my uncle discouraged her from visiting as no visitors were allowed. She said she wanted to try to visit. It was her 62nd anniversary. (If I'm wrong, cousins let me know!) When she got to the ICU, someone let her in and even put a chair out for her to sit by my grandfather. "It's a gift!" my grandfather chuckled as they enjoyed the gift of time as they sat together uninterrupted for 2 hours. By her side, my grandmother said my grandfather prayed for all the grandchildren and children and relatives and they apologized for anything they'd done and reflected. Shortly after that, when he was diagnosed with Covid-19, visitors were strictly prohibited and quarantining took place. I'm grateful my grandmother got that time with my grandfather. Knowing my grandmother, I'm not surprised she managed to get in, and get a chair at that! Please continue to keep my family and especially grandmother in your prayers. In light of covid-19 they can't have visitors so hoping our prayers will lift her up and continue to give her strength. I'm glad my grandfather is not in pain. He left without anyone by his side - hope and pray he's being warmly welcomed by the angels. Thank you for your prayers! #onwards
