Today is my sister in-law's 30th birthday. Her birthday came 4 days after her father's death on 13 October 2010, which was 3 days after her brother's wedding reception.
Uncle Mukhtar collapsed at the clinic he was working at sometime before Maghrib. He was 64. Prior to that, he and his family was watching his son's wedding reception's video.
I can't begin to imagine how she is feeling on her 30th birthday. Sadness, grief, sorrow and a sense of emptiness of losing someone dear to you.
Her latest FB status read as follows:
"Dad, the hardest part to swallow is that the world continues to move evethough you're gone. I miss you :( Innalillah. Thank you everyone for the well wishes. I am hoping that time will heal me though I doubt it."
Insya-Allah, time will heal you, Ina. It may take a long time, but you'll get there. Letting go of the pain does not mean that he is forgotten. Be strong for your mom and Ilham. In the mean time, do remember that we'll be around for emotional support.
Even though your father is no longer with us, I hope you will find comfort in knowing that you and your family have given him the best gift of life which is love and simple joys in life like making him proud of your achievements, being happily married and allowing him to be a loving grandfather to Ilham.
Surely we belong to Allah and to Him shall we return. Semoga roh arwah Uncle Mukhtar ditempatkan di kalangan golongan yang beriman. Al-Fatihah.
