Went to Changi Hospital to visit Along. He had a stroke and his left side of the body has weakened. His left eye has also gone blind. He couldn't see clearly with his right eyes.
Upon seeing him in that condition, with his wife and daughter trying to help him look at those who came to visit him, i thought of my father. Although i dont know what happened at the time but i know he must have gone through the same thing or even worse. Ya, should be worse. My mum told me that he even had to pray while lying on the bed.
I miss my abah. I held back my tears and talked/laughed with sis Era and Wani. Before heading back home, i've got the chance to salam him and kissed him. This time, i couldn't hold it anymore. I burst out crying saying "Along ni Mira. Along take care k". He said "Thank you eh datang", crying as well. Eventhough we are not very close, or not even close to close, just seeing him in that condition makes me feel like i'm going to lose somebody i love. I know it's bad to think that way but that's exactly how i feel. Along, stay strong ok...??
Abah, I miss you. Semoga roh abah dicucuri rahmat. Aamiin.
