Baba's Pillar of Strength

A special post for a special lady.



Hajjah Aminah aka Mak Mi is your Baba's grandma.  Ever since I got to know him, her name is mentioned whenever raising your dad is the topic of conversation.  She is strict, yet loving and endearing.  She is the matriarch to your Baba's family.

Your Baba loves her dearly. That I can see in his eyes and of how he speaks of her.

At this date, she is not in her best of health.  Laying down in bed most times, she looks up only to sometime recognize and sometime forget who is in front of her.  

Tok Tam and family is currently taking over the task of looking after her.  All this while, Tok Bik has been her faithful companion at their home in Kulim.  But because of the extra special care she needs now, being weak and all, she is currently with Tok Tam in Penang.  Being an ex-nurse Tok Tam has the skills to care for elderly people like Mak Mi.  We thank both Tok Bik and Tok Tam from the bottom of our hearts for their dedication thus far.

We've been spending the long 3-days Malaysia Day 2012 weekend with her.  Baba is most concern about her health and left Penang that Sunday with a heavy heart.  I could not bear to see him say good-bye, as his eyes tells me of the sadness he felt that moment, not knowing if this was the last time he'd be able to talk and jest with his beloved grandma again.

Mak Mi, we pray for your well-being always, and trust in the will of God for all of us.

Love,
Rosma
