The loss of your beloved ones

On evening of 16 March 2015, I went for a funeral to a father of one of my lab mate. We actually suppose to have meeting during that time. Therefore, I have already communicate with the rest of the team member in the morning to get them prepares early. Then, one of the member told me that the lab mate who is in-charge for one particular project, his father were critical due to his kidney around 8 am in the morning. Around 9 am in the morning while I was about to go to the lab, I receive the news that the lab mate father already passed away. The rest of his classmate went to attend the funeral were the body were buried after Asar prayer. As for me, I just follow the rest of the lab mate who go there after office hour to visit.

The lab mate is the second last child from 7. And all of his siblings above him already working. The last one just enroll in UIA. A boy also. For me, my friend is in better position than me last time and his father already have a house for them to stay after his absence.

Looking at that situation, makes me wonder. How did me and my family manage to survive after my father passed away.

Remembering my story:

During time my father passed away, I am the eldest in the family. A girl some more. At that moment, the date was 2 March 2000. Not yet sit for my SPM. My youngest brother at that moment is 3 years old and my Mum were overdue for her delivery at that moment. Regardless what, I do think all of my siblings were lucky as my mother still working at that time. If not, I do think the first person who will not get the opportunity to further study in degree would be me. Thank you very much, Mum.

However, we do not have our own house to stay after my father passed away. If only my father buy a house before that, my mum would not have to to pay any more for the house loan. I do think we could live in our house up till today regardless the one that perish in fire in 18 June 2013.

Basically after the incident, we have no house to celebrate Aidil Fitri 2013 (8 August 2013) = homeless. 

Fortunately during the mishap, my brother who works shift as a male nurse already gone for work. God knows what will happen if he is still sleeping at that time.

I still remember that we start to stay in that house since 2001. 

Below is the pictures of the burned house:

For me,  I need to have the knowledge to do a proper planning and manage my financial regardless what. So that when I am no longer around, my kids would still have place to call home. And to gather around during Aidil Fitri and any family event.

Example of no knowledge and have plenty of money over her husband death compensation could be found in this link http://surexperience.blogspot.com/2014/06/knowledge-preparation-very-important.html. If only she use her money to buy 2 houses, she would already collecting rent from 1 house and stay in another. And not homeless like now.

Till then, have a good weekend and be safe at home.
