berkhatan (circumcision)

As salam,

That was the year 2007.  Big day for Khairee and Affan.  The day they become a man.  It was school holidays. That was the time the the boys age between 8 -12 will be going to the hospital for the "circumcision" in our country.  We plan to have Khairee's done at the hospital near our place.  But eventually, it was done in the hospital at the capital city with his cousin Affan.  We decided to go for the full anestatic as well as for Affan.

Looking at the two boys, they were not afraid and they were busy playing with their gameboys.  As usual when they meet, always talking about video games etc.  Well, at least it kept the circumcision off their minds.

They took turn to go to the operating theatre.  Affan went in first then Khairee.  I am sure you boys will remember it!

Now both of you are in Universities.  Khairee in 2nd year while Affan in 1st year.  May you both be successful in your life in this dunia and hereafter.  Aamiin.

But in my eyes, Khairee is still my baby.  I think that is what every mother's feel no matter how old the children are.

Well boys, your future is still around the corner waiting for you to make your foot print....not a long way....
