Brother's Birthday
April Nine is my youngest brother's birthday
And since we live far from each other
We only greet each other through a phone call for every important occasion in our lives
But today I failed to make a call
And I almost forget his birthday until I saw a post from my memories on facebook for the last two years
Since this pandemic
My sleeping pattern has been changed
I have become an insomniac
I wake up late each day and start my routine in the afternoon
Whatever I have thought of doing for the day slips from my mind like making a simple call to my brother to greet him
I'm glad there's Facebook to remind me of important dates and memories to remember when my memory fails me

I love facebook memories! I think it's the best thing they've done with the platform. It's a bittersweet memory at times, particularly when one has passed. However, it's also a joyous reminder such as this.

Thank you dear Ahavati for the comment. Yes It's one of facebook's nice features. It's good to look back on them and be reminded of the memories from the passing years.
