We loved her, and we certainly will always. Despite the sudden turn of events, I am relieved everyone, including myself, managed to pull through such a bitter period. She was someone we all looked up to. Someone we always wanted to turn to. Someone who was ever ready with her advices, always being able to give anyone and everyone a boost. Someone who would give you a slap on your face and bring you back to reality yet will still love you ever so tenderly. Someone who we all regarded as a Mother.

I will definitely miss you Mak. The talks we had together, eventhough usually brief, we had our moments - undeniably. I am glad I didn't hesitate to visit you that night. I am glad I have never doubted your spirit to stay on. I am glad I managed to see you for the last time. I am glad we went for holidays together. I am glad that despite the pain & agony you had to go through, you kept a strong front for everyone. I love you. I might not've said it literally, but I do.

We will most definitely miss her. Her warm hugs, her contagious laughter, her sugary smile. This whole event has taught me ever so many lessons. As I have said before, your family members will always be the first ones you look for, in whatever the situation you are in. Nothing else matters other than your faith in God. This world is only a phase, a phase that could end in just a blink of an eye. This world which He is making live through only to test our conviction and devotion to Him and His Messenger. This world is full of diversions and filled with entertainment - only to lessen our faith in Him. Nevertheless, as much as it hurts watching her leave. I am somehow wholeheartedly comforted because she has gone through enough of agony. She is the strongest person I know. The one who did not know the meaning of fear, the one who waged wars against herself just to keep her family together. We are all genuinely ikhlas with her departure.

Looking at your eyes shut tight. Feeling your face so cold. You looked so calm. You were a very generous person, a sincere one at that. You will always be in my, in our prayers. ♥

Ya Allah, Ya Tuhanku. Ampunkanlah dosa-dosa makcik ku ini. Ya Allah, hanya engkau yang berkuasa Ya Rahman. Semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat Ya Allah. Tuhanku, ringankanlah azab nerakanya Ya Allah! Ya Allah, engkaulah maha suci, maha penyayang. Lapangkanlah kuburnya. Terangilah kuburnya Ya Rahman. Ampunilah dosa-dosanya. Amin.
