Nothing Really Matters



My dad was supposed to have a very minor operation today. My brother and I were supposed to take him in the morning. I slept for what felt like 30 seconds. I kept twisting and turning and had the weirdest nightmares!
I woke up once to the sound of my own voice, I was crying in my sleep. I was a lot more worried than I wanted to admit.

The night before I got into a huge argument with my dad cause he didn't give me the amount I specified to go shopping! I felt so stupid, so materialistic, and so selfish.

I kept thinking of the worst case scenario, How I would give up everything so my dad will be as healthy as he's ever been.
I can live without buying the bag and shoes cant I?
Then why on earth did I get mad at him?

My phone rang at 8 or so am, it was my dad. His operation has been postponed. The minit he hung up I was fast asleep.
I was dead, I didn't even dream.

When I woke up I felt so much better. All my thoughts about being selfish and materialistic vanished, and as I sat across my father munching on my burger I very proudly said, dad I want that bag and shoes!!

aaah life...

I'm so sorry to hear that sweetie. I know it's really hard. My dad did an operation recently too and we're all struggling, even now... I felt like it was the hardest thing I had to go through.

Don't be so harsh on yourself. I'm sure you never meant to argue, besides it shows what you are inside :)

Allah i5alilkom iya ya rab o yashfee wi6awil b3omra ya raaab!!

February 22, 2008 at 9:42 AM  

Ma eshoof shar, alah egawma bil salamah..

You would be surprised of all the little things that affect you at a very important moment. Alah eshafee inshalla!

February 22, 2008 at 7:19 PM  

If your dad goes into the operation... enshallah all goes well and egoom belsalama...
It's always hard when a loved one goes into operation... even when its as minor as their tonsels being removed...

February 22, 2008 at 7:20 PM  

Inshallah your dad will be fine.

This is how we are;p

February 22, 2008 at 7:21 PM  

Nice how u organized the post !!!

raising the drama..then ending it with simplicity blended with lil bit humor

February 22, 2008 at 8:02 PM  

Allah igawma bilsalama inshallah o'ma ishoof shar.

Perspective can be (tikrimoon) a 'kalba' sometimes, but you should be glad you got some.

February 22, 2008 at 10:12 PM  

Hehe, about the material stuff its normal to feel that way but your dads well being also comes first. Inshallah everything goes well with your Dad!

February 22, 2008 at 11:14 PM  

LOL.. yeah life!
we all go back to being daddy's little girl as soon as things go back to normal
allah yshafeeh o ykhaleeh lokom ya rab
o mayshoof shar inshalah

February 23, 2008 at 12:15 AM  

makes you appreciate every little thing, salamat to your father. Be there, believe me, he already thought about those moments and how its gonna turn out, go for a score and grant him success with good deeds, he deserve it.
