Abah

I lost my dad last Sunday. It was the longest day of my life, and the saddest. I just could not imagine life without him, although all this years sometimes I took him for granted.
My parents are the reason why I could stand tall now. There were days when Abah and I, we had our differences. Sometimes, uncontiously I vowed myself never to turn like him, but after he's gone, I'll realise that the even the flaws in him push me to be a better man.

He showed me that life with dignity, cautious and intergrity is divine. He made his simple life as an example. A retired school teacher with a housewife that managed to raised a director, an army major, a field manager, a finance manager and an admin oficer.
Beyond that, he made his kids treasure education, and to withhold intergrity and to fear God. He instilled high morals standard of life. I hope I could touch my childrens' life like what he made with us.

Life will never be the same anymore. Thank you Abah for all the wonderful memories and lessons you have given me. Thanks for all the hard lessons of life that made me a better human.

May Allah bless his soul and may Allah place him among the chosen ones.

Al-Fatihah..
