Today my sister and her husband had lunch with us on the first day of Eid al-Fitr, and in the evening my uncles and maternal aunts and their children came and we laughed and talked.
My mother made it a habit to gather her brothers, sisters, and their children on the first day of Eid al-Fitr, but I was a little tired on this day.

We went in the evening to my mother's uncle's wife, and there were his children, and the first of them. I am with my mother's family. I don't talk. I sit like a bride because I don't know them well, and people I don't know I don't talk to in case they ask me or talk to me.

We went to my aunt Laila's house, and her son Reda was there. He is my brother. I consider him my brother. He is very good and I love him very much.
He used to do everything to make me happy when I was still young. He would come to us and go to take a nap. I would follow him and I would sleep in his lap.
I mean, our relationship is very strong, and because I love him like a brother, of course, when Yanis, his youngest son, who is six years old, asks me to play with them, I always answer him yes, let's play.
I remember Reda did not reject my request
I was helping his mother prepare coffee and sweets. He came to carry the tray and stroked my chest. I felt a brother's tenderness.
I am not used to this in our house because my brothers do not like hugging and kissing, and glory be to God, I do not like to leave him.
I only see him twice a year
His children love me very much, just as I love Reda very much, and I will love them until the last breath of my life
