Tears In Heaven

This entry is dedicated to my dear friend and brother Nurul Fajar.
Even though we are thousands of miles apart.
You and your family are close in my heart.

To Allahyarham,
Amir Yusuf bin Nurul Fajar
27/06/08 - 06/03/09

The sad news was broken to me by Nik, shortly afterwards i received an sms by Fajar. Saying that Amir is no longer with us. He has moved on to a better place. He is loved more by the God Almighty Allah.

I have never met Amir. But deep down inside i felt that i have. Fajar always spoke of him and asking me for advice regarding Amir. I felt the urge to go and personally see him in Glasgow but due to certain reasons i was not able to.

From the way that Fajar had spoken of him, i knew that Amir was a fighter, just as his father is. For him to survive with all his ailments is the testament to that. He had to undergo many life threatening procedures and operations. but he kept on fighting and living. I knew that he is trying to make his parents proud of him and wants them not to worry about him.

But with all the efforts put by him and the medical specialist around him. It was not to be. It is written, Qada and Qadar. This is a test by Allah. Amir and his parents stood by the test and managed to pass the test. It is time to move on.

Heaven is waiting for you Little Amir Yusuf. and hopefully we can meet you there.

Amin.

Whenever i hear this song. I would think of you my 'son'.
Tears in heaven by Eric Clapton.

Would you know my name

If I saw you in heaven?

Would it be the same

If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong And carry on,

'Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven.

Would you hold my hand

If I saw you in heaven?

Would you help me stand

If I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way Through night and day,

'Cause I know I just can't stay Here in heaven.

Time can bring you down,

Time can bend your knees.

Time can break your heart,

Have you begging please, begging please.

Beyond the door,

There's peace I'm sure,

And I know there'll be no more

Tears in heaven.

Would you know my name

If I saw you in heaven?

Would it be the same

If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong And carry on,

'Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven.
