* Life’s short

Everyone shall taste death. And only on the day of resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the fire and admitted to paradise, this person is indeed successful. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception:” (Quran 3:185), ” Every soul shall have the taste of death “ (Quran 29:57).
Funny how death has been on my mind alot of late.
I’m not being preachy here.
Mas grandma just passed away.
Before this sad piece of news, I had been planning a nice weekend with my frens coming over for Hari Raya visiting and of course Mas returning from his Indonesia biz trip. I cleared my weekend of work and made sure nothing was going to ruin the fun this weekend.
But life is unpredictable.
We truly have no power over anything.
THE LIFE OF THIS WORLD IS ONLY THE ENJOYMENT OF DECEPTION.
The end of a life is not in our hands. We can only affect the way we spend our lives.
One minute she’s alive and the next she’s gone….. I just can’t grasp this sometimes.
I had just spent the whole month of Ramadan and Hari Raya at Mas’s place and I just came back to my own home today, when I received this sad news.
She always treated me well and fed me and towards the end when she was not mentally sound, she was still kind to me.
I’ll always remember her, miss her and pray for her.
sigh.
