I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but my paternal grandmother has lymphoma cancer, and well, the doctors in Bangladesh aren't exactly the best in the world (more like one of the worst). So, they did something wrong, and my grandma was very close to leaving us forever. My father had to leave in a day's notice, and here is, back, 3 weeks later.
As you can see, my mother went through a lot to make this Saturday brunch (the guy on the side is not my dad. He's more like my dad's BFF :)

AlhamduliAllah, my grandmother is much better now, so, as usual, my aunt sent us lots of goodies.
My sisters got "princess dresses" and "m n m jewelry"
My goodies and jewelry:
My brother's awesome shirt:
Also, my brother's necklace. Last time my aunt sent this for my sisters, and he loved it so much, he was the one who wore it for most of the time, until, of course, he ripped it. But, this time, my aunt sent it for him - just so he doesn't attack my sisters' necklaces again. I guess this is what you get when you have a boy after three girls :)
The note says, "Ibbin (my bother Ibrahim's nickname) your necklace"
My great grandmother's paner bata. A small box where one keeps her things for her pan, a special leaf filled with flax seeds and other things. My father was able to bring it back. It's more than 50 years old. Totally vintage and antique. It's a part of our family history.
Last but not least - CHEESE!!! This is special one-of-a-kind Bengali cheese. It's unbelievably delicious.
