Today my colleague informed me that her friend's 4-year old daughter had passed away because of diarrhoea. Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun.
Shocking, isn't it? I know diarrhoea to be the common cause of death for children at countries with poor access to clean water and basic sanitation but I think it's rare in Malaysia.
When you hear a news like this, you tend to think of all the times you take your child's illness lightly. The common scenario is, "Alah, batuk sikit ajer!", "Kalau dah nursery, biasalah selalu sakit!", "Makanlah dulu apa-apa ubat yang ada. Nanti kalau makin teruk Mama bawaklah pergi klinik!"
What if makin teruk is death?
Do not take things for granted. Do not wait. You won't be able to forgive yourself if you do.
Al-Fatihah.
