The Death of A Legend....

On January 25th, 2008 my Dad (Allah yer7amah) past away....

Like a mad woman, I wailed and cried asking every one I see "What do you do with all those memories?"....I kept repeating the question over and over again....for anyone to answer...So many pictures....so many home videos....what do you do with all those memories?

Until...out of no where....a sweet and lovely girl looked me in the eye and said "Would you rather a father who is alive and have no memories with him?".....Suddenly I stopped wailing...suddenly I understood the difference and knew that although she was there to comfort me....I felt that I should comfort her...she admitted that she had never said that to anyone until now...and so I hugged her and said "Thank you"......I finally stopped asking....The pain remains....but there is comfort within....he was definately always there for me.....and stood by me...and the words "love you" were said coming in or going out of the house...all the time....so al-hamdulla....I say....al-hamdulla.....

My Dad was a wonderful man with a big heart...a legend...a real gentleman but above all...he was the perfect Dad....al-hamdulla.....

Last Post April 2007....

It's been eight months and few weeks since I last posted....for some reason life became so busy that blogging became a thing of the past...now I wonder how I left it...it used to keep me sane...journaling and having supporters giving you their input was theraputical....

I missed it even though you'd have to pay me if I was gonna write for the past 8 months....

Fast forwarding into my life...after 8 months....I got married in October....and it was completely out of the blue....and by blue I don't mean that I wasn't thinking of getting married...in fact I was preparing for it...I say out of the blue when it comes to the groom!!! The wheels turned and I ended up getting married to completely another person that I thought I was gonna marry...and thank God for that!!

I was preparing for the Wedding...when in December....my Dad had a brain stroke and is still in Hospital....All Doctor friends are kindly requested to please assist in all ways to make my Dad fit and healthy again and come home.....and I'm begging Allah to make him better....so please....pray with me....like I said...I'm blogging to keep my sanity...and remembered my old support group that always made me feel better...you know...the ones who gave support with just the smallest comments.....it's good to be back....and I need you to keep me sane.....
