a month with so many lessons

its been a wile since I blogged, and no its not because i have loss the enthusiasm that I started this blog.. far from it .. its just that reality took prevalence over the virtual reality. The month of Ramadaan this year, entered with all the excitement, energy and happiness as expected , not just becaused it ushered in the most anxiously awaited month in the Islamic calender or signalled the begining of the Ramadaan broadcast. Little did we know that this Ramadaan we were going to brought more lessons than we could ever have learnt our entire lives.

The first Taraweeh began with the awaiting of a new life been ushered in and the first sehri with a news of a new life. yep a new edition to our ever growing clan, little did we know that this new life was a signal of an end for another. the balancing of the equilibrium of nature.

this ramadaan would also be remembered as the saddest ramadaan to date. the mother of my newly born nephew had slipped into coma after delivering ( natural health cause, negligence on the part of the doctor, only Allah really knows) and for the better part of Ramadaan, our attention was focussed on mother and son.

Like that first sehri, we were awaked yet again almost 20 days later to the mews she had taken a bad turn and just as suhoor ended, Allah called her home.

A 24 yr old mom to 4 kids, a daughter , wife, sister and friend was gone...

her death affected those around her terribly aswell as does that had never met and had just heard her stroy. FRom a young 2o something, to a mother with her kids, husbands and mothers.


another death that shook me to the core, was the loss of a loved one by a freind of mine, her loss made me imagine myself in her situation and wether i would have the strenght to carry on aswell as made me appreciate my significant other (master jack i LOve u )

a lesson that flows through the month was appreciating every minute , be it of that month or off life befor it i taken away from , coz we never if tomorow will ever come..

Sieze the Day, Live Life each moment , and all the other catch phrases that flow from our tongue are easy to say but do we really take heed of them until life slaps up in the face with reality and reminds up of our final abode...



"Every soul shall taste death" , another reminder that this month brought, you never to young to die , so begin preparing today



With LOve and Dua'as
