To Grandmother's House I Went
I spent a magical week in my hometown staying with my grandmother. Ammi is an amazing woman and full of incredible faith and strength. I will forever treasure the time I spent with her.
She taught me how to make some of my favorite Indian dishes including potato samosas and kabubiya palaw. She is an amazing cook, so I was thrilled to learn from the master! She also taught me to read Arabic. It was incredible how much I learned from her.
We went to the gym, went to Friday Prayer and watched "As The World Turns" and "One Life To Live." I also rather enjoyed the Indian channel we watched, where the girl in our favorite show was named Anisa! So, while I was there I picked up on more Urdu (her native language) and was just thrilled to soak up all I could.
One morning, we went to tour my uncle's work:
Ammi, me and SommerMy favorite thing we did was staying up late talking each night. I loved learning about her childhood, her parents, her siblings - and of course, my Abbu.
It was just a wonderful week. I already miss our morning tea and late night talks.
