A parent should never bury their own child

 

Against everybody's advice today, I went to the funeral of my colleague's 4 months-old gorgeous baby girl. We sit next to each other at work, and setiap hari pasti kami akan bertukar-tukar cerita anak-anak kami. Sejak mendapat berita semalam, I couldn't believe my ears and I thought I was imagining things. Sehingga pagi ini bila kami sampai di rumahnya, dan sekujur badan kecil menanti di ruang tamu, ya Allah, akhirnya terpaksa menerima hakikat bahawa baby Deanna sudah dipanggil oleh Yang Maha Esa dan diangkat ke syurga.

 

It was a classic case of kematian berpunca dari tersedak susu di rumah babysitter. Terlalu mengharukan apabila the mother was the one who discovered her, already blue, di rumah babysitter (the babysitter thought that arwah was sleeping). It's just so unacceptable how people can be so careless.

 

Semoga my colleague tabah menghadapi dugaan yang begitu besar sebegini. Al-Fatihah.
