My father, he was a gentle soul.
Softspoken and strong at heart.
Who could prepare for such a thing? Who could tell me now, this will all pass
Without me having to resort to tears every night?
I wake up everytime after you left abah, wishing it was just a dream.
I wake up this morning knowing it was not you who woke me up for subuh.
How does 4 children go from being children to being a caretaker?
In the back of our heads we understood what responsibility lies afterwards
and it is for a single purpose, to take care of mama and to pray for abah's well being in the afterlife.
We, in all its pleasure would very much like abah to just step in and tell us this is a practical joke
We, would not even be mad at him if it truly was, and would openly say, "you win, abah"
We, us four, would very much just settle with the fact that you are our abah and your hugs and advice
Are always there when we need it. And that you are there when mama needs you.
She is strong, we know, but she is stronger with you.
It is never my wish to hear your name being announced over the masjid's speaker. It is the worst nightmare any child could have.
My wish is this and for a long time it will be so, that you will wake me up from this dream with your usual wake-up call during subuh.
Calling my name gently with a knock on the door,
"Wake up Ain, its time for Subuh, time to pray"

ain.. i may not know how it feels like losing the ones you love. I may not feel the pain and bitterness you're gone through. I may not know what to do to make you grow stronger.
But all i know.. you just pray for him. pray hard. may Allah blessed his souls, rest in peace. You have to show him you are still here and you are strong.
You can do it. :)
