make today a good day with your loved ones...
|
|
Amidst our respective daily routines and obligations, there's the inevitable truth that many too, among us aren't having too good a day. While browsing through some pages here on FP, one struck me incredibly.(http://viruspadu.fotopages.com) I've been checking her pages for almost a week now. And it saddens me each time thinking of the emotional strain they must be going through now.
I lost a niece 2 years ago. She had just turned 5 months when she left us tragically. One day she was her normal, happy, super-easy baby that she was, and the next, she was rushed to DSH and within hours, my sister watched her princess (literally) fade away. On a personal note, I deeply regret not embracing her more than I could have. See, my arwah niece was born exactly 9 days after my own son, Zarif. So, just as my sister was busy attending to her new baby, I too, and perhaps even more, was busy struggling adjusting to motherhood and my newborn son. Many times, I only just 'spoke' to my late niece through her playpen. I carried her ONCE only. That regret in me for not playing with her more often haunted me for the first few months after that tragic February afternoon when we got the phonecall from my brother-in-law, informing us of the news.
The point of this entry here today is this: embrace and cherish each moment you have with your loved ones. No doubt, stress levels may rise as you attend to super-buas toddlers (obviously speaking from experience here!), but we are their parents and they our kids, our 'mini-mes'. Allah's mapped out our respective lives and takdirs. As plain humans, we can only pray for our every happiness, health and well-being. But everything really lies in Allah's hands. So, meanwhile, control what we can. And that is, appreciate and care for our loved ones. And even with all the happiness and abundance of life's luxuries, we must also think of those having their not-too-good days. Insya-Allah... with our thoughts and prayers, coupled with their own prayers, their better days could be just around the corner... Insya-Allah...
