this sunday would be Khairin's 1st birthday. We will most probably celebrate it in Kelantan. I don't mind the location, as long as it should be a memorable and happy day for Khairin.
For me, birthday is a day when u must celebrate joyfully. And it is not merely a blind celebration, it is a celebration to remind us how a year has past, yet we're still blessed by Allah. It is a day when one need to rewind what has been done in the past one year and what has been gained. A year older don't just mean a number plus one, it is an indication of experience we should gain and knowledge we should learn. It's not just a day to eat cake, it is a lot more.
So basically, when anyone implies that birthday is not worth celebrating, i would strongly be against that. How would you measure your years of life, when you don't stop to ponder on one good day ? And surely it is a big blessing from Allah, to give us a full one year of life !! Does that sound anything worth celebrating?
Hubby always ignore birthdays. His reason is always that he is not use to celebrate birthday. But this year, this time, I am going to make sure that he'll understand the need and the importance of celebrating Khairin's birthday. It's her first year, it is her year of learning to walk, to smile, to see the world in colors, to recognize me, hubby and kakak, to have 2 set of teeth, etc. The least we can do is to up hold our hand, and say thank you to Almighty Allah.
