May Allah be with you, my beloved sister

As always, you can make plan but Allah will decide whether your wish can be executed as planned. I was in Sabah when my niece, Emah, called to say that my oldest sister, Zawiyah, is in hospital gravely ill. I told her that I would come and see her when I return to PJ, and after completing my work commitment in Penang and Tg. Malim. Wednesday 29 July 2009 was the day that I would drive down to JB to see her. It was not to be. On 28 July after midnight, I received a call from Emah to say my sister has passed away peacefully in her sleep. It was a sad news to me. I was in Tg. Malim with Najidah to do some work. So after Subuh on 28 July, aborting the plan, I drove to Melaka to pick up my brother, Mahir and wife, Kak Nun to JB but the burial was at 11am and we were still on the road. We arrived about 1 pm and straight away visited the burial site. It was a sad moment for us as I remember this sister of mine who took care of me when I was a little girl. I was her closest member among my family and I used to stay and visited her as narrated in my earlier blogs.
My loss cannot compare to the loss experienced by her children, Chom, Edah, Aid, Atan and Emah and pray they will be strong. I love my sister as much as they love their mother. I am so happy that her children, especially Chom, took good care of her till her old age. My sister was lucky in that sense. May Allah bless Chom and husband and her siblings. She will always be in my heart. I thank Yam, her carer for 10 years, who was with her and taking care of her during her ailing days.
I grieve for her but she is in a better place now.
Ya Allah, cucurilah rahmat ke atas roh kakakku ini dan tempatkanlah dia di sisiMu bersama-sama orang-orang yang Soleh. Amin.
