Dear Earthlings (and disguised Spacelings),
So last weekend The Hubster and I went back to Klang. My PIL is going to perform Umrah with his youngest brother and wife on this coming Sunday (or Saturday?) so they held a farewell gathering for a pax of 300. Supposedly there would be a blessing/thanksgiving ceremony for my late MIL but it was postponed before. So this farewell gathering was a joint occasion for my both PIL and late MIL.
We forgot to snap any pictures but the crowd was quite as big as a wedding's. Beside the fact that my PIL is one of the important persons in his circle, he is actually very kind to everyone he meets. So that explains why everyone is devoted enough to attend his every event now and then. Luckily for us (or me), we did not have to sweat ourselves for everything was done by appointed food caterer. So yeay for that!
Nevertheless, the feeling of going home this time was somewhat different than before my MIL left us. There was no longer the same warmness to wait for our arrival anymore. It wasn't me alone, I am sure The Hubster felt the same thing too. Things have been pretty different to everyone now; with some of them have turned more complicated than what I usually saw these past few years.

And it was definitely sad to see The Hubster recited Surah Yaasin at her late mother's grave. Sometimes he still had a cry or two whenever he mentioned about my MIL. I know that he misses her terribly, especially when he was in distress and could not find the same mother's affection any longer. I could totally relate to that because I know, my MIL is someone you wanna be as a mother.
Anyway, I always fond to meet up with a bunch of nice people in my in-laws family every time we go back. They treat me like I am a no stranger to the house and their loving gestures are genuine. They are not faking anything in front of me. The best part of all; I can be fat, ugly, jobless and whatnot but they would never try to judge me. These are what I call a true family, indeed. And how I love them a lot.

Being warm is more important than being a cold one, people!
