Yesterday evening my neighbour invited us to join Yaasin recital at his house, praying for his father-in-law's recovery from sickness( water in the brain)...he is now hospitalized n the children are taking turn looking after him. even his son who is working in LA returns to offer his obligation...
i was really touched by the sincere kindness in them, sacrificing their valued time n money just for their beloved father...what a lucky man he is....
Then i think about my own mom, who has nobody to REALLY look after her..to accompany her when she needs the help....it seems everybody manages to find unacceptable excuse not to come home...a mere phone call on Friday nite is the only thing they can do....
If only my brother n sister are willing to spend even a short weekend to be by mom's side, i am absolutely sure she will be on cloud nine....
Then again, i can only pray n pray that one day, their heart will soften and see the beauty of taking care of their aging, fragile mom....it is not that i grumble because i always go (insyaallah n alhamdulillah)....because i live nearby but actually distance should never be the main reason. if u love someone dear enough, all the obstacles are merely swift wind brushing over your delicate face.....
how i can only wish before it is too late...............
