Mom has just travelled to see my youngest uncle. It seems that these are his last days. He’s been sick for a long time. We had a strong feeling that he’s suffering from leukemia but doctors said that this is just 1% pssoible. We doubt them because here in Saudi Arabia they never ever tell the truth about these cases. They always avoid telling the truth. I want to know why did they lie to us? I mean, we all want to see uncle Khaled but Mom is the only one who could find a seat on the flight today. If they told the truth from beginning, we might have the chance to travel and spend Eid with him.
The two past weeks,they were giving him red blood cells but unfortunately,there was no repsonse. They also tried bone marrow transplantation but It didn’t match. This is so sad to see someone you love is dying and you’re so helpless. I keep thinking of his oldest and only son,Ahmad (who’s only 9 years old) and his little 4 daughters, Sara,Raghad,Noreen and Anwar . Loosing their father at this early stage of their life is something so hard(allahom la e3tra’9). I can’t imagine my life without the funniest and the kind man in the family. He used to embarrass me and I just laugh. He used to hug me while we’re sitting together and telling others how seeing me made his day.
The last time I met my uncle was in August in a resort and he was showing me all the weird round things on the surface of his skin because of leukemia. Everyone meets him, loves him from the first sight. When he sees the whole family sitting together on a big feast. He cries out of happiness. I took a picture for him 5 months ago when he was looking at my Mom (his oldest sis) and listening to her while she was talking about their early life before they all get married and suddenly he kissed her forehead and cried. That was an amazing shoot for the best uncle I have.
Please pray for him 
Khulod, death is such a complicated and interesting subject. If you look at it as an object, it could be thrown at you at any time. It could come fast (like a car accident) or slow (like your uncle’s disease). It doesn’t matter how slow or fast, we are all going to reach the same finish line.
I always thought that people who are diagnosed with a disease and know they are dying are actually blessed.
I believe that If you knew you were dying soon what would you do other than fix your relationships with people, pray for forgiveness, make every day of your last days worthwhile, etc etc.
It is hard though, I am not saying that death is great at any level, because when we die we leave people who we love behind and that’s what makes it hard for us to accept it.
But, I think that maybe God loves your uncle so much that he decided to let him know his death is coming soon. Maybe he’s giving him the time to yekafir 3an thinobah o ye7asin ma3amalatah ma3 el nas, instead of throwing it when he least expects it.
My thoughts and prayers are with your uncle! Allah yeshfeeh ya rab.
hey Immaturegal
I know what you mean and I always pray that I die because of some disease because feeling the pain is(tkfeer of my sins). Besides, I will have the time for(tawbah). It doesnt mean that death is the only way 3shan nkfer 3n thnobna. Its better to start from now. We don’t how we’re gonna die or when. But it is still hard when I see every member of the family is runing to Riyadh , leaving everything behind them only to see my uncle. This made me feel that the end is too soon. Few minutes ago, auntie was telling us that uncle’s health is getting worse.
Allah ye7sn 5atmtah o yel6of feeh

:yes: allah yer7mo
you’re so strong mashalla I can tell from the way you talk about this. walla brought me to tears but what else you can do but praying to him and his kids.
I guess you’ll always see him through his kids, sad but also hopeful that he left tiny souls after him to carry on his life somehow.
Allah yshfeeh waa y9brkum all yaa rab.
