InsyaAllah, we'll be welcoming the holy month of Ramadhan this weekend... Yesterday DH suddenly said to me how this coming Ramadhan reminds him of his passsing mom... Last year his mom was in the hospital the whole month of Ramadhan... our routine last ramadhan was went to work then off to the hospital to spend time with his mom then break fast at the hospital...His mom past on the 4th day of Syawal... so this year Eidul Fitri celebration is surely a bittersweet occasion... it will mark a year since MIL passed away... at the same time it's our first celebration having a child... Sesungguhnya Allah swt itu Maha Adil... so the mood would be neutral i guess...
Anyway, have you gotten Maher Zain's new album? i was lucky to be given a free copy from a colleague of mine... Thanks Sai! There's one particular song on the album that caught our ears... the song "so soon" totally expresses what we feel about the passing of our loved ones... DH mom, my grandma and aunt, all passed away last year... hearing this song makes us shed tears... the important is that we pray everyday that their soul are in peace...
Enjoy this song... and... remember to cherish your love ones every moment...
Every time I close my eyes I see you in front of me
I still can hear your voice calling out my name
And I remember all the stories you told me
I miss the time you were around [x2]
But I’m so grateful for every moment I spent with you
‘Cause I know life won’t last forever
You went so soon, so soon
You left so soon, so soon
I have to move on ’cause I know it’s been too long
I’ve got to stop the tears, keep my faith and be strong
I’ll try to take it all, even though it’s so hard
I see you in my dreams but when I wake up you are gone
Gone so soon
Night and day, I still feel you are close to me
And I remember you in every prayer that I make
Every single day may you be shaded by His mercy
But life is not the same, and it will never be the same
But I’m so thankful for every memory I shared with you
‘Cause I know this life is not forever
You went so soon, so soon
You left so soon, so soon
I have to move on ’cause I know it’s been too long
I’ve got to stop the tears, keep my faith and be strong
I’ll try to take it all, even though it’s so hard
I see you in my dreams but when I wake up you are gone
There were days when I had no strength to go on
I felt so weak and I just couldn’t help asking: “Why?”
But I got through all the pain when I truly accepted
That to God we all belong, and to Him we’ll return, ooh
You went so soon, so soon
You left so soon, so soon
I have to move on ’cause I know it’s been too long
I’ve got to stop the tears, keep my faith and be strong
I’ll try to take it all, even though it’s so hard
I see you in my dreams but when I wake up you are gone
Gone so soon
But I’m so thankful for every memory I shared with you
‘Cause I know this life is not forever
You went so soon, so soon
You left so soon, so soon
I have to move on ’cause I know it’s been too long
I’ve got to stop the tears, keep my faith and be strong
I’ll try to take it all, even though it’s so hard
I see you in my dreams but when I wake up you are gone
There were days when I had no strength to go on
I felt so weak and I just couldn’t help asking: “Why?”
But I got through all the pain when I truly accepted
That to God we all belong, and to Him we’ll return, ooh
You went so soon, so soon
You left so soon, so soon
I have to move on ’cause I know it’s been too long
I’ve got to stop the tears, keep my faith and be strong
I’ll try to take it all, even though it’s so hard
I see you in my dreams but when I wake up you are gone
Gone so soon
