we had a gathering of woman at our home yesterday.being fairly new to this place there was much fuss over me and many hands to shake.most were much older than me and i have this to say of the company of elders.
1.they are easy to talk to despite the huge 'generations' gap.
2.they dont care about what clothes you have on,if your shoes are the right brand or if your headgear is sitting as it should.
3.they hug atleast twice before getting to the gate at their departure
4.they give sound advice and duas (prayers & well wishes) regularly
5.they try to establish some relation with you,even if it be through your second cousins mother in law
6.they feel no need to gossip or pick on others( well this group of ladies anyway)
7.they smile constantly despite their niggles and aches
8.they exude warmth, something our generation cant even fake
9.they are what they are,no pretences
i smile fondly at how welcome they made me feel, and i hope someday i will make someone laugh and smile as they did with me.
until you read again
ma'assalaam
