| [slm] I remember back in the days of the old board, sis Barr bugged me to write abt the love story between my late maternal grandpa and grandma because she found it to be very romantic and sweet. Well, for the old members who still remember that story, I would like to inform you that the love story between them has finally been laid to rest. My beloved grandma passed away last Tuesday, may Allah have mercy on her soul. I drove like a madwoman all the way to Kuala Lumpur when we received news. Once there, I originally planned to stay for at least 3 days to help my aunt sort things out (she was looking after my grandma). However on Wednesday night I didnt feel good, it was as if something strong was pulling me back home. For the second time in less than 24 hours, I drove like a madwoman for 6 hours. I reached home at about 4am and was just falling asleep when I received a call from my Dad. My beloved paternal aunt just passed away... She wasn't just an aunt. She was my second mother. The woman who looked after me when I was growing up, who never made me feel that I was different from her other 3 daughters, who cleaned my wounds and kissed me at night, who soothed my fears and most importantly, who insisted I call her mom just so I wouldn't feel left out. The woman who I did call mom. She looked so peaceful lying there, a half smile on her face. On every 'Eid, she would kiss me before I go home. This year, she kissed me then grabbed my hands and kissed me again. Then she asked me wistfully when will we ever meet again....I didn't realise she was saying goodbye. In one week I lost 2 very special and important people in my life. However, who am I to say I lost them when they weren't truly mine in the first place. They were loaned to me by Allah SWT and I am so very grateful to Him for giving me the opportunity to experience the love and beauty these two special souls brought to my life, Alhamdulillah. My losses were sudden and successive, I am struggling to cope. But when I think of the massive loss of lives elsewhere, equally sudden, more tragic, I am humbled. Your kind du'ahs for the souls of my late grandma and aunt are much appreciated. al-Faatiha. Wassalam |
