Al-Fatihah

Yesterday for the first time after about 10 years when my grandfather died, I cried for someone who left us forever due to brain tumour. She was my senior that I never met at school or in real day-to-day business. But still, I am deeply sad when she was no longer with us. My friend, Ros has been constantly updating us with her condition and also my other seniors from her batch (Arwah was from SPM 1982 batch, I was from SPM 1995). What touched me so much is the fact that she was diagnosed witht the condition just about 2 months ago, when she started telling us via email her conditions and everyone kept eyes open for any updates on her sickness 9and also comments on the treatment that she could get). Brain tumour in the middle of your forehead, just imagine. She undergone surgery to remove the tumour but did not survive the ordeal. She was told by many as a very soft spoken, strong willed and caring women that has lots of friends to support her in one way or another. Losing everything in just a short time, made me think, if my time comes will I be ready to face the truth.. my children, can they cope with the changes.. my parents and immediate families, have I done enough to show my thankfulness to have them as my family.. I prayed that Arwah's children will be brave as their mom and live life to the fullest. It is a truly heartfelt situations being near to her for the last two months, thanks to the technologies and friends who are endlessly supporting each other to keep us updated.

Al-Fatihah.
