Al-Fatihah…
Ya Allah, I hope for my grandfather Haji Sirat Bin Duah to be cleansed of his sins, and that he will be among those who are close to you.. Amin..
I have so many things to feel regret for, one of them being I should’ve spent time with you more.. But I am thankful that in your remaining days, I had the chance to see you and take care of you. I will cherish these moments, as it is also God’s way of showing just what love and family really is. We all wish we could take your pain away, and if this is the only way, then we are truly relieved and happy that your soul is free from suffering. With that said we will keep praying for your well-being in afterlife.
You are a great man, and everyone will always speak of your determination and strong will to survive. You are one of my greatest role models and I will always remember how you have lived and whenever I am not being the man I should, your story will make me realize just how much of my life I am wasting. I have witnessed your determination, how you always try your best not to be a burden to everyone else, at times even going to the extreme in doing so. At the same time we admire how much of a family man you are, always making the effort to smile at us whenever we come visit.
I have many sweet memories of you, though not many seem to involve me. That is one lesson I will learn in my future. I will try my best to fix the family as you have intended in your life. I hope you are happy with the way we have turned out, niniboy. We will try to be “berakal” and hopefully be able to take the places of your children in the way they have taken care of you. It is such a touching experience to see how the family shows their love for you and I know you are thankful for that. We will always pray for you.
Words can never describe completely what me and everyone else is thinking right now, but I guess what I just wanted to say that I love you, and I admire you as a person who has truly lived his life the way I would have wanted to. You were a great man, and I am happy that you have been relieved of your pain. The family will fix itself, insyallah.. We will keep this family together so your soul can feel at ease. It is a sad day, and we miss you. May Allah bless your soul. Amin.
