a farewell

bismillaah

nope, we are not going anywhere nor moving soon, inshaAllaah. It was just abah's friend and his family are leaving this Friday for UK. The wife is going to pursue her Phd and husband and baby are accompanying her, inshaAllaah.

so, abah and friends held a small farewell party last night, and we all went to the party. Just a small crowd of close friends and colleagues with good, simple foods mashaAllaah. Key persons for the party planning and preparation were kakak Saadiah and Amira, superb, jazakumullaahu khairal jaza.

Children were happy playing around the office instead of makan-makan, and they got their hands on the gula-gula..ohohoho...



yup, ada suasana 'sedih' sedikit. bertemu dan berpisah atas ukhuwwah fillaah.

earlier during the day, ibu and Sarah, accompanied by kakak Saadiah went to the HKL for ibu's follow up. alHamdulillaah, all were ok and the granuloma was confirmed harmless. Sarah was very cooperative in the middle of tons of people in the waiting/lobby area. While waiting for my turn to see the doctor, we sat at the waiting area. Almost all seats were occupied, with lots more standing and some were seating on their wheelchairs. alHamdulillaah, a concern pakcik in his early 40's I guess, gave up his seat and offered it to Sarah and ibu.

I think that visiting the hospitals can be a good reminder for us to reflect on ourselves. Having been there with hundreds of other patients has given me the opportunity to see how some people are suffering from various kinds of skin diseases and conditions. Some looked pretty scary and sad, may Allaah grant them speedy recovery, ameen. This reminds me to be thankful to Allaah for the good health He has given me and my family. Although we may have irritated skins sometimes, they were not serious and we never have to go to the specialists for treatment.
