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.....

3atham alla ajrech o allah yer7oma inshalla...

My condolences are with you hun.....I am so sorry for your loss.

I dont really have the right words to say becuz I have never had the experience of losing someone so close to me...but I can tell u that I have never known my father- he hasnt ever been a part of my life. So those wonderful memories you have---just hold on to them and cherish them. I am sure thats what he wud want you to do hun.

Consider yourself very lucky that he was such a great man, and father and in your heart he will always be a legend......

I am so sorry again ... :*

3atham Allah ajrech o Allah yer7oma inshallah..

**hugs you close**

He is a great man and will be alive in your heart ya 7abeebty. There's a saying that children are a product of their parents' upbringing. I bet he's one heck of a legend- look at how you turned out! :) I'm sure you've made him really proud!

Good memories are like awesome balms that soothe the soul. Life life as a testimony to those memories and he's alive in everything you do :)

**hugs u closeee**

God bless you love. If you ever need anyone to talk to or if you just want to be heard, I'm here for ya' :)

enna lelah w ena elayhi raje3oon. Im so sorry for your loss, 3a'9am Allah ajrech w allah yer7emah enshallah ..

this month marks the 4th year since my dad passed away, a sudden heart attack is all it took and he left us .. trust me you'll learn to cope with it with time and it will heal, although not completely .. i have a pendant of his photo which i wear everywhere so that i like to believe that he is still with me wherever i go .. i also have a photo of him on my dressing table to see his smile every morning to make my day ..

one thing that you should do is always replay all the good memories in your head to keep him alive .. when the time is right, make sure you talk about him alot .. one thing that does not go around in the house is mentioning my dad .. when my mom talks about him magdar asma3 .. when they watch home videos musta7eel a6alae3 .. i guess in a way if we were more open to talk about the whole thing before it became distant it would have been easier .. we're still learning to cope and you will too .. now its your turn ennech td3eenlah .. and trust me btshoofenah in your dreams .. 6amneena 3alaich and we're all here for you x
