One special tradition in my family is celebrating Ramadan together. It is religious and cultural practice that happens once a year. And it lasts for about a month. During this time, we fast from sunrise. The sun set us away to strengthen our faith and self-discipline. Everyone in my family takes part. My parents, my siblings and even younger relatives, relatives we usually wake up early for support, the pre-down meal. And in the evening we gathered again to break our fast-clearing iftar. My mother always preferred the delicious traditional dishes and we eat together while sharing stories and laughter. This tradition is extremely important to us because we bring our family closer and the reminds us of the values of patience, latitude and compassion. It also helps us to reflect on our blessings and understand the struggle of people who have less. For me, Ramadan is not only spiritual experience but also a time-strengthened our family bond.
