Hello dear friends!
Hope and pray that all is going great in your beautiful worlds and if there is something coming up to you unexpected you are facing it with patience ,strength and wisdom !
As you know that in my quite big house all floors are being renovated so mostly i stay in kitchen while my cooking or laundry .And when i am free i try do do some works that can be done meanwhile .
Toady i got sometime free to sit in guest room and while waiting for hubby to bring me something to cook for lunch i peeked in past not so much far though.
I saw huge collection of photos taken in 2015 and 2016 .So many precious beautiful memories twinkle in my consciousness specially memories related to to eldest son when he was here with us before leaving for Germany !
just some of them sharing with you hope you will find them interesting !
My youngest son in 2015 before leaving for native town
Train took almost 18 to 20 hours to reach so sleeping births are best for the night rest .It was June but air conditioner in train was cooling fast
Standing in native house front yard view was breath taking ,my whole years from early teens to youth passed staring at these phenomenal scenes , each time i visit their and they say "they miss me too"
We visited Khanpur dam after few days which is so compelling for it's natural surroundings and attraction for visitors ! it is jus fifteen minutes away from my native village
Till than our son did not join us so we visited Murree hill station with the family of of my brother
we took our lunch with us as hotel could not open until evening in fasting month,family gatherings are always fun and memorable specially for kids
view from flat 's balcony of islamabad
Murree the place which look piece of heaven due to cold foggy weather which is pleasant change for people who came from 50 plus temps
my younger bought hat and i asked him to poss for me
walk on these lashing curing serene paths is not tiring at all
hubby and camera blinked eyes at same moment
i did not know that these pics will become treasure for me when my son will leave as till that moment we were not sure he will be going to germany
Family is second most precious thing in univers first one is LOVE which make it :)
front of the Hyperstar shopping mall after returning from beach 2016 november
Hubby bought new phone and was learning to operate it from sons in mall
i bought some items as gifts for my sister in law(wife of hubby's brother)
beautiful hill station Damn e koh which gives the panorama of whole Islamabad
Santure shopping mall with 37 floors was really fun to explore and we had great time there
though it was fasting month going on but mall was crowded
my son took his younger brothers to game section and what else was more fun for them
Before leaving for germany he came home to stay with us for two weeks, most beautiful time we had together ,i almost quit doing chore except basic ones lol
In his apartment karachi the day we were about to see off him ,he hugged me for long and put his head in the lap of his laying father without saying anything ,but this gesture was talking lot i think
The night he left for Germany he took selfies
we are so happy for him still it is truth that staying away from kids is sooo hard for parents!
may he be blessed with health ,happiness and success in life including all the kids like him
waiting for the winters when he will visit hopefully!
Take great care friends !
Stay strong and live with the realization of blessings you have other wise life is just waste of time
God B;ess You All!!!

Wow...such beautiful photos, Baili! I so love learning more about your family and your stunning country. ☺☺
ReplyDeleteBig hugs xoxo
Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos! Lovely post.
ReplyDeleteLovely family. I understand your loneliness for your son - My youngest lives in California and only comes home during Christmas break. I wish he lived near me again.
ReplyDeleteYour family is beautiful. Easy to see that they are precious to you. As a mom, I know how hard it is to see our children fly from the nest but their success and thriving away from home means you've done a good job as Mother. When I look in their faces, it is very evident that you have done a good job!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of your family everybody looks, so happy.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard when our kids leave us but we raise them so that they will be independent. You describe your country very well.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed all of your family photos, dear Baili. You are absolutely right in saying that photo of your son putting his head on your husbands lap says so much about love. Most beautiful moments.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful family! These images hold wonderful memories that you can smile back on. I hope your son is doing great in Germany. I bet he misses you all just as much!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful and loving family, I really enjoyed the pictures that you shared of each of you, the area you live in is also beautiful and I can see why you are proud of where you live and also proud of your family they are indeed a blessing in your life.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are very special, Baili, and they hold fond memories in your heart. Pictures of "this and that" are my favorite. Sometimes a picture itself tells a story and it doesn't need any words, like the one of your son putting his head on his father's lap.....and the beautiful 'family' one at the park where you're all eating oranges. What splendid pictures, Baili.

ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day. ☺
You have a beautiful family. I love finding pictures I haven't seen in a while. I now do Google Photos and it makes it easy to find my older pictures.

Magníficas fotografias para guardar na memória e no coração. Você tem uma família muito bonita, Baili.
ReplyDeleteUma boa semana.
Um beijo.
beautiful place, beautiful trip and the family too. Love to see the traditional clothes. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Baili,
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice report with nice shots of your family.
It's hard to see your own child go out to another country.
Let's hope he has a good time and he will contact you.
Kind regards,
Marco
It is lovely to have photos, as well as memories...
ReplyDeleteLooking at photographs is a wonderful way to pass the time - thank you for taking us along with you on your visit to other times. The photo of your son quietly laying his head on his father's lap brought tears to my eyes. That time before our children leave for an extended period of time is always filled with emotion. The best way I have found to get through it is to say to myself - after they are gone I can start to look forward to the next time I will see them. It is a tiny bit of consolation :)
ReplyDeleteYour two younger boys clearly look up to their big brother! All of you look so happy together. You and your husband have made a lovely family.
Thank you for the beautiful pictures of your family and your country. I love your son's new hat!
ReplyDeleteYou share some beautiful family memories with us. There is so much love in the photographs.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful photos, Baili! You are blessed to have three fine sons and a loving husband. It's not hard to tell how much you all love each other. It must be very difficult to be so far from your eldest son. I hope that his studies are going well in Germany. I have been away from blogging for a while ~ too much going on ~ but I'm back now. I'm catching up with all my blogging friends whom I missed so much. My husband had cataract surgery on his second eye this morning. He is doing well. Of course, we woke up to ice fog and snow flurries. The roads were covered in a skim of freezing snow on top of black ice, and it was very cold. Fortunately we made it there and back, okay. I hate driving on icy roads. It's going down to -15º C tonight. +50º C sounds pretty good ~ LOL I'll be reading your recent posts tomorrow, but I wanted to say "Hi" tonight. Sending you a big hug, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI was looking through all the photos thinking, how wonderful, how different... and then I saw McDonald's! ha ha ha! Well, I hope you enjoy your new floors and you are feeling VERY well right now. :)
ReplyDeleteFamily is the most important thing indeed, and I feel your pain about your son leaving for Germany. My kids are still home, but they have one foot out the door... and its hard! It is probably the hardest things as parents to let your children go out the door to begin life themselves, and it just takes some getting used to. It sounds like you are having some fun things done in your home for improvements, and I hope it happens quickly so you can get back to enjoying it. How is your health dear friend? I trust you are feeling better. I so enjoyed your posting today and sharing of the precious memories with your family. Such a beautiful family you have, and I will join you in prayer for the safe travels of your son to come back home soon for a visit with you! Many hugs to you today :)
