exclusive...for a moment i thought my mum would leave me forever...(true story)


the date was 24 June..time was abt 9.30am....my mum woke me up..she sounds kind of panicky..she was never like this before..she asked me to bathe quickly and follow her to the clinic to see a doctor...i thought everything was fine but after bathing...i wore my specs and saw that the left side of my mum's face was shifted a little.. signs of STROKE..the fatal disease which will cause my mum to be bedridden forever...i was shocked...then 10 mins later, we then went down and straight to the doctor..we waited for a while before the doctor call us in...


in the doctor's room, tension fills the air...my mum was anxious and i could see tears forming in her eyes...i was nervous....results came...Thank Allah s.w.t.. the doctor said my mum had Bell's Palsy...facial paralysis which affects one side of her face..it was a rare disease...my mum had a nerve damage and this caused Bell's Palsy....after buying the medicine and some foodwe went home...my um called my relatives and some cried...i cried too, seeing my mum cry..she was still scared of geting STROKE...


i can't imagine life without her.....STROKE kills...but i luv my mum so much..if my mum pass away..who would take care of my sick brother..i will have to quit school and take care of him and family while my dad work...and my future would be gone...i needed someone to talk to....and thankfully i found Kak Dilah thru msn..she was online......she was there for me and she encouraged me to pray hard so that my mum would not get STROKE...she told not to think of quitting school but instead to just be strong, patient and study hard...she was my sister that time...and i felt the love of a sister for the first time....thnx a lot Kak Dilah...i dunno how to repay u...


after that my relatives came..they sat for abt 4 hrs chit chatting and asking abt my mum's condition...That Sat was supposed to be a barbeque family gathering..but they decided to visit my mum instead..how thoughtful of them..after they left, it was me and dad doing all housework...i vaccuumed the house wipe tables, etc...it was a tiring day..but i'd do anything for my dear mum...i'm still confused wad kind of illness she has..i heard some of my relatives mumbling about "imbasan" and "malam angin"...i dunno wad "imbasan" is in english but i know " malam angin" is night wind..i'm thinking that my mum MIGHT go into the way of some spirits at night as she gets the disease the day after...but this an only be cured by traditional malay methods...i'm not sure though but one thing i know is Allah s.w.t. is the only One who can help my mum..


everyday now i pray for her....i want her to recover fast..i still need her....it has been a long time snce i cried....i cried lots too....losing a mum is like losing half or ur life...i hope my frens reading this starts to think twice before treating their mothers rudely....remember this....NOTHING can replce ur mum...i have learnt a huge lesson..luv ur mum from today...
