There Will be Time


He pedals for miles and never gives up.
He always asks me to watch, but he allows himself to be in his zone.
He doesn't always ask me to be next to him.
He just wants me to be a witness of his life and his journey. 
He sometimes falls, but he stands-up again.

There will be time, he continues his own life, without asking me to be always with him. 
At that time, I believe that he would be able to stand, walk, and rise with his own without any hesitation.

I love you, son, with all my life. May Allah always bless you. ♥

With love,
Bunda

Stay-at-Home Activity Ideas During COVID-19

We're now in the middle of global pandemic. 😢 March, 2, 2020 President Jokowi has announced that two Indonesians have tested positive for COVID-19, it's the first two confirmed in our country. He calls all Indonesian people to stay at home; self isolation and social distancing.  Corona virus is a serious infectious disease. What can you do to protect yourself, reduce corona virus infection, and prevent spreading the virus to others : Wash your hands regularly for 20 seconds with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub. Eat healthy food and don't forget to cook meat or fish thoroughly.  Drink water, take vitamins or supplements.  Do some home exercises to keep your body healthy. Cover mouth when coughing or sneezing with flexed elbow. Avoid close contact with anyone with cold/flu like symptoms. Do not touch your our eyes, nose, face, or mouth if our hands are not clean. Stay home, social distancing, and self-isolate from others if we feel unwell....

Teaching Our Children about Ramadan

Alhamdulillah, Allah still gives us the opportunity to meet the holy month of Ramadan 1437 H. When a Muslim reaches mature age, he/she should have fast and other ibadah  in Ramadan. As parents, we need to train our kids to fast and give them the meaning of Ramadan which the rewards and benefits are very plentiful. I started to introduce my son about Ramadan when he was about 4 years old.

Keep The Children Healthy during Ramadan

Shaum/Sawm is one of The Five Pillars of Islam. Ramadan (a complete fasting), we do the fast for about 29 or 30 days in a row. It is the Holy Month for Muslims. Those twelve years old and above must complete their fast from dawn to sunset.  I've started to teach my child to fast from the last two years when he was 6 years old, even he's just done his first fast for only a couple hours, at least he tried. There are many even as young as four or five are encouraged to fast for a few hours a day during Ramadan by their parents. It's to begin appreciating the significance of the Holy month of Ramadan. Alhamdulillah , I'm very grateful, this Ramadan my son now is 8 years old and so excited about following Ramadan completely.
