This morning my husband received a shocking phone call. His relatives who lived no so far away were involved in a car accident around 1 am last night killing the husband, wife and son. Another son in the car survived. I was so shocked and very sad to hear the news. I was made to understand they were on the way to send their sons back to their colleges.
We had been to their house a few times for past few Harirayas and also the weddings of their other sons recently. I still can picture her face bright and smiling when she came to our house or when we visited them. Now they are gone just like that. May Allah bless their souls and they be rest in peace and God put them together with the solehs and solehahs. Amin.
Also a reflection for us who are still living that we be grateful for the life we have and knowing that life could be short.
