Happy Eid if anybody ever reads this!
I am sitting here all alone, sad and disappointed with the way my life has turned out. Sent my son to PreSchool and husband is at work.
Eid as I remember from my childhood days: The whole family of aunts, uncles, grandmas, cousins would all gather. Mom and aunts would cook yummy sweets and meat/rice recipes early in the morning. All the men would go to the prayer and come back and give us all kids money. We would all be happy, we wear our new clothes, eat sweets and yummy lunch and spend the rest of the afternoon playing and laughing. Aaaahh..those were the days!
Now, I hardly do anything similar to that. I dont cook any sweets or yummy food 'coz I dont have the motivation to do so. Since I married a person of different religion(even though he converted) Life is not the same anymore. He somehow turned to being an atheist. I lost the enthusisasm or the zeal to do anything for Eid anymore. My parents dont call me unless they need money let alone for Eid. I dont have any muslim friends. My sister has her own mind.
And if I even consider taking my son to a mosque, the idea is totally shot down and arguments start from my husband.
Now, considering all this crap....I totally lost interest in anything Eid or anything religious.
I dont even know why I married him in the first place.....to endure all this shit which is worthless :(
