So my Eid has gone from being called Labarang to Eid...from going from home to home to say slamat to neighbours to sitting at home wishing myself a good day....from having a family breakfast to having a cuppa and a slice of toast on my own whilst I wait for the honey to wake up...from eating eating and eating to only having one meal....one I had prepared lol.
It is very different...I call it my New Age Eid.....it is unique to me...
Saturday I spent with two friends and the honey. We had fajitas for lunch and had some good conversations...Fajitas for Eid some may think 'what the heck?' but for me it was a meal that I cooked and shared with others.
Sunday I spent with the honey and his family...this was eqaully fantastic...this time I cooked a bit more...butter chicken and rice....and then we had some lovely cup cakes and banana muffins..mmmmmmm....I enjoyed every minute of the together time...
I have family over here as well....just a different type of family but a family none the less...the feeling of aloneness on EID has somehow become less obvious for me.
EID is about sharing with family and that is exactly what I did. Thank you to all those who shared it with me.
EID MUBARAK everyone!!!
