Desigirl786, it took me a while to get through my studies too. My dad fell sick and had one stroke after another for two years straight. He had a total of three. I worked full time and went to school full time and did everything I physically could to help my mom pull through that crisis. Alhumdulillah he SOOOOO much better now!!! But that time of my life was HORRIBLE and we made it through to appreciate everything Allah swt has given us now.
The point is, you may not know what the real/full story is behind that family. If he is supporting his parents, let him. He will get dua from them and somehow his life will come together because he took care of them. It might take him a little longer to get through but he is taking care of his responsibilities too. :)
hows ur dad now PSquared? my dad went through the same thing a week after my wedding and it was very traumatic to say the least.. Alhamdulillah he is A LOT better now though.. and i totally totally love him for that. Seeing your parents ill, or knowing that u can lose them any second is one of the hardest things to face... i rememeber being 14 and my mum was really ill and she said to me, "tum apni behan ka bohot khyaal rakhna" and i was totally besides myself.. Alhamdulillah my mum recovered.. but just hearing those words and feeling terribly helpless is crazy
Parents are such a huge huge huge blessing from Allah in our life. I dont think we can ever ever ever fully understand and appreciate everything they do for us, we only come close to understanding it after we become parents ourselves. May Allah reward all our parents with all His Blessings and the highest level of Jannah, Ameen!!!!!!!!!
Ameen!!!!!
When I was younger I was perhaps the most bathameez kid on this planet Earth, and for some reason my mom still did my laundry, cooked my favorite foods, ironed my clothes before school and made sure my room was clean. I would barely lift a finger to help out.
I wish I appreciated my parents more when I was younger. Now they're getting old, and my friend's dad passed away, and it really makes me cry that one day, the same will happen to my parents. I honestly don't know what I would do w. o them
I love hugging my mommy. If I come home and she's not there I can't concentrate on anything :( I have to see her everyday. She's so caring and sensitive at the same time. I love my mommy :@:
