One SLE is Down...........

It was on the 14th August 2009. The “thing” strike for the third time in her life. She survived form the previous attacks. The “thing” viciously attacked her and made her lying helplessly on the bed.

I saw her… I saw her on the bed…. with all the wires on her body….. supporting her to survive. It was really heartbreaking to see her in poignant condition. Nothing else I could do… my tears started rolling down on my cheeks…. I couldn’t stop …trying harder..but more and more tears coming out…

It is time…. It is Time… She leaves us… with a smile on her face saying goodbye to us. I know how happy she is being invited to meet the Almighty leaving behind her sickness.. Letting her go… the hardest things to do... Letting her peacefully go to the Next World…

She and I are now in different places … separated from the crucial world…. No means to connect…. Only endless Prayers as precious gifts for her … The thought is always there.. Hoping that she has a better life… and patiently wait for the time that definitely come and we will be reunited…

My beloved sister Allahyarhamah Zalina, 39, was sufferings from Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Her autoimmune system is overactive. Her body's defenses attack healthy tissue and organs. It happened to her for 28 years. She quietly slipped away at about 9.45pm on Friday with her husband, father, mother, brother, sisters, uncles, aunties, cousins and all relatives at her side.
