My heart goes out to those in similar predicament as I have gone through this. I lost my son in Masjidil Haram, alhamdulillah found him a few minutes later. But those few minutes were the most painful minutes of my life. When the realisation sets that I lost him, an emptiness sets in. It felt as if my whole innards, not just my heart was wrenched out in one swift movement. That incident taught both of us, my son and me, a valuable lesson.

For him, always tell daddy where he's going and always keep an eye on where daddy is and most of all listen to and follows daddy's instructions. For me, it was to reinforced the notion that everything in this world is only on loan to us and can be taken and given back as He pleases, and that I am powerless even over my son. No matter how much you love or think you own something, it is not yours. Even your life is on loan and can be requisitioned at any time without prior notice.

All said and done, even though he abides by the lesson learned, my son still blames me for wearing a white djellaba and sitting in a different section of the mosque on that fateful day...

I agree. I think we all need to acknowledge the impermanence of life and cherish it. Sounds like your son has his eye on you!

Nice post. I am enjoying having a look around your blog.

Thanks for dropping by and glad you enjoyed it. Yes, life is short, lets make it sweet. The thing that bothers me is when I am faced with those who think that they are imortals and believe that the world revolves around them...
