Two Sisters

Here's a special picture of my two grand-aunts from my Dad's side of the family, sisters of my late grandmother. There were altogether six of them - two brothers and four sisters. The eldest sister the late Nini Sangol passed away in 1982 and my own grandmother, fourth in the family passed away in 1994. The two surviving sisters live at the opposite ends of Brunei rarely see each other and it is even rarer for me to catch them together so I was delighted to see them both at a cousin's wedding last weekend. On the left is Hajah Norati or as we know her Nini Tengah, literally the middle grandma and on the right Hajah Maimunah or Nini Amit, literally the youngest grandma - two women who mean a lot to me.
