This entry was saved as draft earlier and I was on EL last 2 days and manage to continue today.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Off late I have been getting not so good news about some other people...mainly my friends' parents and some even my own parents. I think 3 weeks ago, my hubby's boss's father fell in toilet and bed ridden, then his father in law passed away. He was with him during morning walk, he just collapsed and the root cause apparently due to his heart stop breathing. Then I came back to office and learnt about my own boss's father in law fell in toilet and had stroke and now bed ridden too. His own father also is not well and so he is away in his kampung to attend to his family matters.

This morning, I opened up my ex housemate's multip1y and learned about her mother passed away last Saturday morning. Reading her post made teary eyed..I know her mum and she felt so helpless when she couldn't be by her mother's side. One year ago, my another ex housemate too lost her mother and another post by Lollies about Mosh's father too made me really sad.

Ohh gosh..thinking about death sometimes make you so helpless and how mortal we are human beings. I have been thinking a lot on this since Ramadhan when my own mak fell in the toilet. No one was in the house except for mak, myself, both my kids and my niece. She fell and no one knew and at that time I was in my room attending to baby Aidan. My niece finally heard her soft call and came rushing to me and I just sprint to her bathroom leaving baby Aidan in a rocker. My heart skipped many many beats and I had tight chest when I saw her lying down on the floor and all I could remember that time, I asked her to istighfar. My left hand which held her head was full of blood and I was numb, I panicked and I can't think straight. Called my brother but he did not pick up his hp and I scream and screamed to my niece asking her to call my SIL's house. Alhamdulillah, minutes later my brother arrived and syukur that night he wasn't at his clinic with his patients. She was cared by my brother and SIL and to cut things short, I thought I have lost her and that night I couldn't sleep thinking of the "What if...?"

cont...(22nd Nov)

Inna lillah wa inna ilaihirojiun..al fatehah to mosh's dad..I hope he can be strong during this testing time, semoga rohnya ditempatkan bersama org2 yg beriman. Amin! I just read Mosh's entry about his dad's operation and I found similarities with my dad. My own bapak also is always up and about everyday, jogging, run errands : market, banks, do his masjid treasurer stuff, potong rumput, picking up grandchildren and the list goes on...Sometimes when you think he is so healthy at 69, another day it can be otherwise. He is now diagnose with heart problem *sob sob sob*...

I'm feeling so sappy..takde mood nak continue. Love your parents and show them that you love and care for them. Life is short, it might be them or you who will be called upon the almighty..be nice to everyone and always count your blessings.

anways agree with you on the elderly. yela mmg tak sangka kan bile our own parents/in law tiba tiba je sakit teruk and bed ridden when we sees them on their daily activities okay je...hmm it is pretty scary jugak
