Last 2 weeks, I’ve visited one of my friend’s dad at the PPUM. Her dad was admitted due to heart attack or acute myocardial infarction (AMI). She looked so sad & miserable. I felt quite guilty toward her for not being able to visit or see her earlier. When I 1st heard her dad was sick, I intended to do so. It’s bcz I’ve gone thru the same experience, hence I understand her feeling very well. She needs someone to talk, listen, give support and advice her. Basically, she needs someone to release her emotion and to tell her what to do. But since I was not so closed with her, thus I was quite afraid to approach her. When I saw her, there were lots of things that I want to share with her. But bcz the time was limited, we were only be able to talk for a while.
After visiting her, I think a lot about my situation. I compared my condition with hers. Previously, her dad was the one who take care of everything. Since he is sick, someone has to take over his place. As the eldest, she has to be the one to take the responsibility. Thus, she looked so stressful & helpless. Furthermore, she only has 2 siblings who are her and her younger brother.
Unlike her, I felt so lucky for having a lot of siblings. Bcz I have a lot of siblings, we can share our responsibilities. We can divide the tasks btwn us. When I take charge of the cleaning, my sister can take charge of cooking. When I have no time to open a bank account for my youngest brother, my other brother took over the task. Each of us fulfills the responsibilities and helps each other, thus the burdens lessen and the stress was reduced. I really want to thank my parent for given me a lot of siblings. We are not only there to help each other but also to support each other.
If before this I felt I just want a few children as I afraid for not being able to take care of them properly, but now it has been changed. I want to give birth to at least 5 children (Insya-Allah), so that they can take care & help each other especially when they are facing difficulties. Life is unpredictable and everyone would be tested by GOD. To be able to pass the test, a lot of factors are contributed. One of it is the people around us, whether our family, our relatives or our friends.
To all of my siblings (Along, Ana, Ami, Amir, Kakak, Fatin, Amin & Faiz), thanks for ur help and support. Aiks, xkan Faiz tu pun membantu? Apa yg si cilik tu boleh tolong ye? I’m sure u all too would wonder what kinds of help did my 4 years old brother offer to me. Honestly, he’d help me actually. He helps me by always be there for me, therefore making the situation to always be cheerful and sometimes stressful. Hehehe…
