Wished Biology interest me when I was in Form 4. And I got on to do medicine. Guessed I chickened out when I took the easier Social Science class instead. But what's the point, out of 110 or so of us from back then, only 2 got to be doctors. Looking back, there are a million and one things I wished I could have done differently. But what's the point, apart from unnecessary heartaches and that bitter feeling of being stupid.
And it won't helped Ma a bit now. We had done and will be doing all we can to ensure her full recovery and make her as comfortable as possible. All she need right now is the gift from Allah The Merciful, The Compassionate. He is the One Who Determines.
Oh Allah, The Merciful and The Compassionate.
Please take care of me Ma as she had taken care of us from birth.
Please protect her from harm as she had protected us from birth.
Please rid her of all her ailments, rid her of her pains and sufferings.
Please give her courage and strength to face these tests of Yours.
Please protect her from evil, by things seen and unseen.
Please pave the way for us her children to be able to assist.
To offer financial assistance.
To offer our energy.
To offer our time and help Ma be better again.
Please Oh Allah, The Merciful, The Compassionate.

Bro,
I have no idea what those words in blue means.
But from what you wrote it doesnt sound too good. You are right, we can only do whats within our powers, the rest is up to Him.
Hope your mom makes a speedy recovery.
Thanks bro. Appreciate the doa much.
Ma is suffering from colon cancer. Had her operation Monday to remove the affected area. The hope now is the cancer has not spread to her liver and some.
We plan. And He plans.
Amin to ur doa n i hope ur Ma recovers... insyaAllah...

She's recuperating well, thank you. Just that anxious wait for them biopsies. If they turn out to be negative, alhamdulillah. If not, well, I don't want to think about it at the moment. Just praying and hoping that she'll be under His protection.
