Kak Eda quit her job as an interior designer to "menyambut seruan" -- she gave her all to Allah and the ways that He had presecribed. She took care of her children full-time, There were no nannies. When she had to go overseas for a couple of weeks, every now and again, to do missionary work, her dad and mum-in-law would take over the household. <BR/><BR/>I know you never got to meet her becos she was in her purdah and hijab and never mingled with the men "outside" during gatherings at Bapak's. You would have liked her a lot. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for visiting, bro.<BR/><BR/>Ibu: Thank you, Ibu. <BR/><BR/>Hamdan: You can call me Kak Ena, of course. Thank you.<BR/>It is nice to note that you feel so much a part of Jalan Sudin, through what I write.<BR/>Yes, I do remember the Gila-Gila articles Bapak wrote years ago.<BR/>I think he actually had fun writing the articles.<BR/>Hamdan, thanks again for visiting.<BR/><BR/>Azmi: Thank you, Azmi for visiting.

You learn to live with it and accept it as part and parcel of your life. <BR/><BR/>You feel the same sadness on occasions such as her birthday and the anniversary of her passing. You mark the milestones in her children's lives with mixed emotions, of joy and of indignation that she had been denied the pleasure of being part of these momentous events.<BR/><BR/>Your Kak Eda will forever live in your heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38530403.post-80853868235406780242007-05-19T15:47:00.000+08:002007-05-19T15:47:00.000+08:00Dear Kak Ena Not a day passes without me thinking...Dear Kak Ena <BR/><BR/>Not a day passes without me thinking about arwah Mak, Kak Piah & Kak Eda. <BR/><BR/>In the case of Kak Edah I was with her during the last few months before she passed away.<BR/><BR/>I drove her around because she couldnt drive by then, took over the househols chores, bathed her & dressed her up, cooked for her & fed her.<BR/><BR/>We were very close but the time spent with her during her illness strengthened the bond.<BR/><BR/>I learned from her the meanining of patience, "redha", faith & love - love not ONLY for your immediate family but that ultimate love for HIM, the ONE & ONLY.<BR/><BR/>Although she is gone she is still here in my heart with every doa I utter for her after every prayer.<BR/><BR/>May Allah SWT bless her soul and place her "roh" among the pious.<BR/><BR/>Al Fatiha.<BR/><BR/>Amin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38530403.post-15320535781147795342007-05-19T15:40:00.000+08:002007-05-19T15:40:00.000+08:00Alhamdulillah he behaved when it mattered most.
