I celebrated my fifty-fifth year of my life in this year
of 2016. Since I had a heart attack in 2007, I am thankful to Allah for have
provide me this life with lots of blessings and love of my family and lots of
good friends.
One news shocked me though. My wife informed me that she
has received the invitation for the Hajj pilgrimage from Tabung Haji for the
year 2017. This put me in a surprised mode because I was planning to perform
the Hajj in 2018. Now, I have to write an appeal to Tabung Haji to allow me to accompany
my wife for the Hajj in 2017.
It took me a few days to accept the fact that the time
has arrived for my wife and I to go for the Hajj. I had shared my fears with my
good friends. They had advised and encouraged me to put my fears aside and just
proceed. Have faith that Allah has opened the right path for my wife and me.
This fact also makes me realize my life and mortality.
From the years of my childhood, to my life at school. The growing up years from
my teen to adulthood. The early years of my entering work force, progressed
into my present position. My marriage, having kids. Watched them grow. My
daughter got married. The birth of my first grand-child. Watching my grand-son
grow.
My life has come almost the full circle.
