My beautiful mother died a year ago today
As I watched over her in the final hours, I couldn’t help thinking is this it?
After 79 years of living, then the end is just like that
I wonder what is waiting for her on the other side.
I hope and pray that it will be all wonderful and magical on the other side just like the description in Al Quran.
Meanwhile in this side of the world, I start to think how will she be remembered?
I will remember her as this wonderful mother who loves all her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren very much. She showed her love through food. If any of us were coming to visit her, she would cook our favorite food, especially for us.
Some will remember her as the elderly lady who drives a Honda City to the pasar almost everyday. She would buy her sayur, her ikan, her ayam and the sellers would help carry all the shopping to her car.
Others will remember her as this generous woman who wouldn’t think twice about helping other people. If she is not able to help with physical energy, she would help with money for sure.
The money that she donated to different mosques and madrasah is part of the legacy that she left behind.
Have you ever thought about how you will be remembered when you are gone?
