Personal post:
When I was lost, you were there to guide me back to the real path. When I fell, you helped me to get up on my two feet. When I needed you, you came running by my side. I can never thank you enough for being there for me. I didn't know what to do when Bryan told me that his granddad passed away. Partly, we both knew what was coming but we didn't really bring this matter up until we both knew that day could just be "any-moment-from-now". It was the day when we had to pray and accept that this is how things are. No matter how much his granddad was loved by his family, or miss him...The Almighty loves him more. May Allah SWT bless him and may he enter the beautiful garden of eternity (Jannah). Al-fatihah.
As Bryan's rock, I always try to be strong for whatever ordeals and challenges that lay ahead of us. And as always, I have to be strong throughout. Unfortunately, not that day, I knew I had to be strong for the both of us. I wanted to be strong for him...I needed to. However, that was not the case. I was not the rock that Bryan can hold on to. I didn't know what to do. I am not sure if Bryan knows about this. Throughout, I am thankful for two friends in particular who had supported me; and I couldn't thank enough to the both of you. Without trying to sound corny or anything, thank you for always being there for me... and like what Amy said "that's what friends are for." Thank you for accompanying me without even requested to do so. Thank you for holding my hand when I had to climb those steps and faced Bryan's family. Thank you for literally holding me when my legs turned to jelly. Thank you to Ishraf's mummy who made me smile describing my jelly legs. Without these two (and my brother who is thousand of miles away, and my mom), I wouldn't know how to be the rock that I am suppose to be for Bryan. Thank you.
To my dearest Bryan, I love you. I am always here for you. Even though I am not physically next to you, you do know that I am always with you. Let's take baby steps. Hopefully the next time I would be meeting the whole family would in a joyful occasion. Soon. Insha Allah.
I love you.
