I write this post with a heavy heart.

I just came back from JB, visiting one of my cousins who has been diagnosed with brain tumor. He is 17, ready to enter the next phase in his life. The so-called "adult" world. But, instead, he is lying frail on his hospital bed, ready to fight his battle armed with a strong support from The Hamidons and a smile. :)
Really, the prognosis isnt good. Yet, he still smiles. MasyaAllah.
This sort of news really wakes us up from the "dunia"; the Tod's and Anyas, the NGIs and the Armas, the Marriots and the Hiltons, the Merc and the Beemers...It's sad when it takes something this grave to shake us to our senses. Because if not, we forget. We get swept away in the waves of "dunia".
And this "dunia" that we love and we chase is temporary. Because ultimately, those doesnt matter. What matters is the health and happiness of our family.
I ask, my dear readers, that you send your prayers to my little cousin. We will need all the doa to help us get through this test. InsyaAllah.
