Of death & of orphans

Moments ago, I got an SMS from 2nd ex-gf.


Ex: Salam. Ady...ari2 org gtau x abah da xde?

Me: Dh gtau dh aritu..nape tiba2 je bangkitkn topik ni?

Ex: Smlm mak lak xde. Da jd ank yatim piatu

Me: Innalillah...skrg dok mana?

Ex: Arau umah nenek...


al-fatihah....

Feeling sad for her. Her twin sis is in Bangalore for a short course until July; she couldn't make it back in time. Both her late parents were ill; her dad had a heart condition, her mum breast cancer. Their deaths were relatively close: her father passed away in January. One can imagine how devastating it must be to lose one parent after the other in such a short space of time.

I don't really have much to say, actually. I'm just sharing this in hope that anyone who reads this would say a word of prayer for this family. This, I hope, would also remind us of Allah s.w.t the Almighty and bring us closer to Him.

Thank you for your time.
