this photo was taken in 1993 as stated at the back of the photo. i guess i haf always been the shy type, i dun normally go to my grandparents for comfort. i never really had any sort of connection to them. i always thot tt they never really had a great impact on me compared to my family. but on 30th oct 2008; or rather, the last day of syawal i realised that i thot wrong.
my atuk was there for me thru my childhood. he used to fetch me n my 1nd brother from pertapis everyday and took a cab back home. sometimes, he would even bring us out to walk at the nearvy field close to my old house. he gave us our 1st kitten as a pet. he used to play different types of musical instruments to amaze us, his grandchildren. the angklung, flute, harmonica, even the guitar. he was a good man.
so tonight, on the 7th day since the day he passed away, im forever praying that i will meet him in heaven. he was my first ever family member that had passed away, my first loss. i haf never experience this before in my life, n im glad i did. it has opened my eyes to so many different things i never knew. im glad that i still haf my nenek with me. to see her cry for her husband of 68yrs; it just breaks my heart.
so im pleading for all my muslim frens hu are reading this; pls say a prayer for my arwah atuk. doakanlah al'fatihah kepadanya.
