This year is the first Eid that I'll be celebrating without my mom. From this year forward, Eid will never be the same again. From the house decor to the good foods that she prepared for us.
Nevertheless I'm grateful that she is in a better place now. She don't have to suffer with every breath she takes anymore. I'm grateful that I'm there at her every last second of her life with us.
There'll be no one that could ever replace her. No matter how nice that person is will never be the same as her. I owe her a life and a living till I am able to be independent. She's the perfect mother for me. Thank you Allah for gifting me such a mom.
This year is a mixed feelings. I'm kind of happy and sad. Happy that she don't have to suffer no more. Sad because on first day of Syawal I am able to just visit her at her eternal home but I couldn't see her, talk to her nor could she answer me even if I were to talk to her.
I hope Allah place her at the best and highest place that HE ever created for human kind there.
Thank you Mom for all the hurtful words. It makes me a stronger and patient woman. You've prepared me to face the real world well.
Thank you mom for the advises although sometimes I don't even want to listen to it. I do look back and nod my head in 100% agreement with all your advises. It makes me a wiser person.
Thank you for all the happiness that you have given me from the day I see this world till the day you bid me goodbye.
When you passed, you have left me the most priceless wealth. The awesomeness of sedekah (charity). Even at the very last breath of yours, you are still giving. Building school for the orphanage. I used to forbid you for giving your money away when you sometimes have only just enough for yourself to survive. But being rich is not your goal in life.
You never look forward to be rich. Your life is enough by sharing what u have with others. I respect and salute you for that. I do understand now how awesome it is to give than receive.
Thank you for the precious wealth. I am truly grateful. From today forward, I will share with others. If I have it and others needs it more than I do, I'll give it to them.
God is great. We always get what we truly needed. Because what we truly needed is what makes us a better person. Perhaps what we just wanted will make us a ridiculous human being walking the earth.
May Allah protect all of us from being arrogant towards others. Walking around on earth looking down on others and closing our eyes to the people that really needs our help.
Always remember, what we owned is never eternally ours. In fact, nothing is ours. From the physical that we have to the possessions that we owned. Nothing is ours. In fact, the people that is around us that we called family and friends is never ours eternally.
Everything's borrowed!
One day everything will be taken from us and we will leave this earth as how we arrived. Arrive on earth with nothing, leaving the earth with nothing.
In this happy season, be moderate in everything. Don't over do it. If you have more, do share it with people who truly need it.
Share the happiness.....
Share the love.....
Once again Selamat Hari Raya.....Eid Mubarak everyone!
