Hari Raya..

When I was young, I used to think that Hari Raya was all about $$$..
Each day smiling because of the money that I receive everyday..
As maturity and age slowly overcomes me, now I'm smiling because of a different reason..
It's not the amount of money that I received but instead of how blessed I am..
Every Hari Raya, I have my family and relatives around me..
And I feel happy around them, especially when I seek forgiveness from them and seeing the smile from their faces..
That feeling truly is PRICELESS..
And when I think back, I really do feel sorry for those who are celebrating Hari Raya without their loved ones..
For example,children whose parents have passed away or those who are in overseas while their loved ones are in here..
Isn't it sad celebrating a joyous occasion without someone that you truly love??
Why am I typing this as you are wondering??
I just watched a show about orphans in Malaysia celebrating Hari Raya..And I could see that that sadness lingers beneath that smiling face..
So what am I trying to say here as you are wondering??
Cherish your loved ones..You don't know what you got until it's gone..
Yup, this Hari Raya has taught me a valueble lesson.. =)
Take care people..
AND SELAMAT HARI RAYA!!
