Personal Narrative: A Trip To Amigee's Funeral

Part One: Adaptation

Dadiji was going to arrive to Canada tomorrow early morning. Abugee and Amigee went to pick up Dadiji to the airport. It was her first flight to abroad country. I and Hamza decided to tell her about our first winter and the places we visited until now. Amigee informed me and Hamza to clean the house before they arrive and arrange the food prepared on the table. Are you going to share your room with Dadiji, Khadija as you are more excited to see her? Hamza asked. Yes, I can share my room if needed, I replied.

Even you also would have to share your room with some or other person of our family member. All the guest will start arriving because of wedding after two days. I will think of it, or else I will talk to Amigee
After dinner, Dadiji went to sleep. I and Hamza were discussing that, where should we take Dadiji tomorrow as her first visit? Amigee replied harshly, that we are not going anywhere tomorrow except ‘The Masjid’ (Mosque) for praying to god. As our whole family is getting together after long time for ‘Uravi Wedding’ all are busy in preparation of this wedding. Amigee also mentioned, will take her for visit after five days to all the paces we visited until now.

I asked Hamza, should we take her to our school? “Ask to Amigee Khadija; she is the one who decides everything” Hamza said.

Next day, Dadiji, abugee, Amigee, I and Hamza visited to the mosque for blessing from god. Dadiji said proudly, that I am proud of my children and grandchildren who still believes in culture and be religious after staying far from their country. Abugee, Amigee and Dadiji have tears in their eyes. The new beginning of Dadiji begins and sooner she will realize that how people respect to each other in every corner of Canada rather than Pakistan and the struggles which we faced while arriving in
It is one of the best book for all the migrating people who moves from one country to another for better future and has to face many struggles in their lives. I remember when my grandmother arrived for first time in the year 2015 for the purpose of my cousin sister Uravi’s grand wedding on August 2, 2015. I thought to add a new scene at the end when Khadija named that her Dadiji (Grandmother) was coming to visit Canada soon. Our whole family has settled in Canada except my parents. Therefore the purpose of my Dadiji visit to Canada was to make sure that all are living happily and got settled nicely or not. Her visit to Canada was completely “A new life” as she was unaware of all the rules and regulation in new country Canada. There will be a respectful people more than our back home country. She will get new experience that how I and my uncle aunt got settled here facing many problems in the beginning. Same as, Dadiji will also be experiencing how Khadija, Hamza, Amigee and Abugee passes through until now. It was the support of Dadiji to adapt the change which her family experienced. How Dadiji will feel in Canada, is additive change of the story. She will like the visit to Canada or not? There will be great change found to her because the country where she lived and the country she is visiting will be vast different in terms of culture and belief
