Its been a tough 3 weeks for three lost souls. Our nightmare began on the morning of Eid ul Fitr… The road has been a bumpy one and the elements have thrown everything at us. However it was with the mercy of Allah that we traversed this dark road to emerge back into sunshine smiling again.

We all just have one life. “To Allah we belong and to Allah shall we return.”

It is the way we lead our lives that leaves indelible marks on those that we meet while we are travelling through life’s journey. A moment in time so precious that it carves a memory in the heart that will be felt and seen until we return to the Supreme Being.

Voltaire a French writer and historian (1694-1788) once said, “Doctors are men who are occupied in the restoration of health to other men, by the joint exertion of skill and humanity, are above all the great of the earth. They even partake of divinity, since to preserve and renew is almost as noble as to create.”

To the wonderful and gallant doctors, nurses & Milpark Trauma Unit, words will never truly reflect or portray the emotion that we express of having our mother back with us. It is your knowledge, skills and expertise that Allah has bestowed you with that allowed you to perform the miracles that leave our mother smiling with us today.

May you continue to bask in Allah’s divine enlightenment to perform miracles and enrich the lives of all those that you have taken an oath to serve.

To our dear mother, God took the sunshine from the sky and put the love light in your eye. He gave you breath and with his love made you divine. But best of all he made you ours once again.
