An old and dear friend, whose house I used to frequent when we had school projects to complete or when we just wanted to take refuge in her air conditioned and cozy bedroom away from the hot and humid weather, the same room which kept us away from her two elder pesky brothers, just told me her dad had been diagnosed with cancer. A detailed scan revealed more tumours and the prognosis is bleak.
She's being pulled in many directions at the moment. She works full time, her husband is away most days of the month due to the nature of his job, she has a son to care for and she is now her mum's and dad's emotional crutch during this trying time.
I can't even begin to imagine her exhaustion, both physical and mental exhaustion, that she is going through right now. I can only offer her a prayer that she is given strength and faith to go through and overcome this trial.
And may I also request that you send through your du'a or best thoughts to my father-in-law who is also going through some health issues as well. May he recover quickly and always remember to take his medications regularly. And may the Almighty keeps all of us safe and healthy as we begin the new decade. Ameen.
