Yasmin Ahmad,51 passed away recently bcoz of stroke dat she probably had never figured out dat it wud strike her while she was doing her presentation at work..
It bothers me a lot dat she passed away dat early dat way. Fine,death doesn’t count ur age. If its time for u to go, no second will possibly delays. But still,it bothers me. It really do.
I have a DAD.. my only DAD is my beloved ABAH. And in less than 2 weeks he will turn 50.. what happened to Yasmin actually made me feel scared to my bone thinking about his age coming. I wish he’d be 40 forever.. seriously,im scared..
I only have abah who makes me feel there’s a reason fo me to continue living on dis very old earth.i only have abah dat makes me feel like a child still. I only have abah dat makes me see life wit wisdom as he is for me da wisest man on da planet.. even though I don’t cry to my dad when I feel like to,its bcoz I want him to know dat im strong for him if he ever needs me..even though I don’t share as much things I shared wit ma before,its becoz im alwiz keen to hear stories frm him.. alwiz eager to know how was his day or maybe how was ur childhood..how was ur teenage-hood.. how do u fall in luv wit ma? (since ma used 2 tell me how u won her heart..)..See? I haven’t hv much of my abah and suddenly he’s turning to 50 very soon. And at da age of 50,life can be threatened by lotsa things. N dats y im damn scared..
Pinch me ,so dat I realize my dad is 40 n there r plenty of time fo me n my others siblings to hv fun wit him. 3 days ago he asked me at da dining table, ”where do u think shud I spend my retirement?” I said “where else,if its not here..”. There’s no way im gonna let him spend his retirement other place without me n the others of his children. I wanna b wherever he is.
Buat ayahanda tersayang,
Forgive me for being dis very dependant on u at da age of reaching 30 but I want u to know dat I love u with all my heart and I wish to be with u as long as time can tell. I wanna take care of u even dat I know dat I may not be as gud as ma in cooking or cleaning or house managing but wat really matters to me is da time n luv we hv towards each other. So,please don’t plan of spending retirement days anywhere without us,ur only children. We need u. we alwiz need u no matter how tall or lebar we grew..
U have no idea how much u feature in our lives..
May Allah bless u wit gr8 health n happiness alwiz ,abah.. Semoga abah panjang umur sampai ida ade baby,mira kawen n ade babies which is not too long to wait (haha..),ina ade babies,ayim ade baby,erin ade baby,syalin ade baby n adik ade baby.. amin!
i luv u,abah..
My Dearest Ida,
The most important person/s to any parents is the children and given the choice they would always want to be in the companionship of their children till the end of their living days. However, there will come a time when a parent must accept and come to terms with the reality of life…and that is, they would soon be grown up and would inevitably want to live on their own.
No parents would like to be away from their children. But on the same token, the last thing a parent would want to do…is to be in the way of their children’s happiness. As such, in whatever circumstances parents should be prepared for any eventualities and be willing to make sacrifices for their children’s happiness.
Looking for a place to retire does not mean that the parent is planning to be on their own, it only means that they wish to be in a place more relaxed and tranquil, and if possible, together with their children…so that they can make the most out of whatever thats left of their life.
But if the children prefers to have their parents together with them…that is the only wishes that any parent would hoped for…and they thank god for it….ALHAMDULILLAH…
Ida, one of the parents fear is when their children has all grown up and then start to be independent and live on their own. And always parents would feature last in their plans. But your interest and desire to be with your old man and make him feature in your life would be the best gift he ever had.
In that case….here’s a very big hug for you.
THANK YOU…
