May Allah enable each of us to care for those who are lonelier than we may feel, and to plant seeds that will elicit duas we couldn’t even imagine needing some day. — PolitiTweet.org

Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo

Still, my friends and their families ensure I don’t have lonely Eid days. Invited or not, I can find donuts and sheer khorma. I can’t help but wonder which lonely person, who my parents graciously served as surrogate Eid family for, that made dua for us, that I’m reaping today. — PolitiTweet.org

Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo

Today, more than a decade after their having retired from their hosting duties, I live far away from blood and/or legal relatives. This isn’t the circumstance they or I may have ever imagined for me back then. — PolitiTweet.org

Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo

Then it would come back to my parents’ house because though simple, it was a lot of work to host an unpredictable number of people for an open ended number of hours at your home, immediately after Eid prayer. — PolitiTweet.org

Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo

Some years another family would convince them they could relieve them for one Eid, and it would be just that, one Eid. — PolitiTweet.org

Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo

In the 80s and 90s, there were so few Muslims in Alhambra, Pasadena, and San Gabriel combined that we became each other’s family away from family. They hosted the event when they were financially comfortable and when they weren’t. — PolitiTweet.org

Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo

It makes me think of my parents, who hosted an Eid Open House on both Eids for close to 20 years. Though they started when they were lonely and new to their community, it became a staple event for recent immigrants, transplants, single parents, and everyone else. — PolitiTweet.org

Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo

I don’t take for granted that doing so can be challenging for so many reasons, mine is being alone and away from blood and/or legal relatives. Still, I’m blessed to have friends who open their homes and are offended if I ever dare to say I don’t have family nearby. — PolitiTweet.org

Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo

Eid Mubarak! It’s been a long and challenging month, personally, professionally, and spiritually. Still, I set goals and Alhamdulillah met them! One of these goals was in fact that I would celebrate Eid. https://t.co/g387GDC1GM — PolitiTweet.org
