My dad passed away peacefully on 7th July 2024. I was his primary carer and the joy I have had in spending time with him since my mums passing in 2022..has been priceless. My dad was bed bound since Sept 2023. We watched my mums favourite programmes, he shared his stories and we cried and laughed together. All he wanted was his four children and we just lived with him and slept in the living room. It was hard but we wouldn’t have it any other way. He was my best friend, my business mentor and the go to person for any advice. He taught me to be humble, to never compromise in my values and never measure success based on wealth but by the quality of your sleep. “Barjis, when you do no wrong and lead a good life.. you will sleep well at night. This is success”. I will miss him terribly. To everyone who have elderly parents, please make the time to visit them, to look after them and even if you have to sacrifice your earnings and career.. do it! No amount of wealth is more important than our parents. Their prayers are more valuable than our bank balance. At the end of the day we don’t take anything with us in our grave. #memories #parents #loss

I lost my dad recently too and shook my world upside down because he was so incredible and it sounds like your dad was too- what a man! You can stand proudly and so glad you devoted those last months to be with him. For us it was only weeks but so greatful for every minute we were blessed to have. May Allah widen his grave and grant him jennah firdaws and ease all your families hearts till you meet again in a better place Aameen ❤️

‎إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ Sorry for your loss, a void that can’t be filled by anyone or anything else except… for the wonderful memories you created with your father. Those memories are priceless. Alhamdolillah you’re very blessed to have had the opportunity to devote so much time to your father. May Allah swt bless you and your family with ease and aafiyah as you continue to be his sadqa jarya, the connection in the dunya before you’re united in the Akhira Aameen. 🤲🏽

O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him, protect and pardon, honor their station, and make their resting ground spacious. Ameen

Inna lillahi wa Inna ilaihi rajiun....may Allah bless him with the highest level in jannah, Aameen. You are so right in saying that our parents need our presence once they lose their strength after living a full life and bringing you up to the best of their capabilities and it's the duty of every child to be there for them instead of regretting for not grasping those last moments of happiness you could have shared with them.

So sorry for your loss, hope you continue to celebrate his life.
