The Height of Love

This is a true story about love, which happened weekend, when most people are concentrating on Anugerah Era.

Nubli is my nephew. My cousin's second eldest son. He is in his twenties now and studying in a college somewhere near Taman Maluri.

Three years ago, they found that Nubli had a kidney failure. Since then, his life has been going through the same routine... going in and out the hospital, in and out dialysis center and eating according to doctor's strict diet.

Until last Saturday, Nubli's life routine would change for the better. He will undergo kidney transplant to replace his failed kidney. Nubli is getting a new kidney for him.

After hours of surgery, Nubli finally got his new kidney. He was taken into ICU for right after the surgery for close monitoring on the post-surgery progress.

The kidney donor is also safe and stable. Although weakened due to the surgery, she was able to talk a few hours after the surgery. All she can think of is if the surgery went well and Nubli is safe. She is no other than Nubli's own mother, who I called Kak Amy.

I am thankful to God that Kak Amy and Nubli are safe and well. Kak Amy is just a housewife, with great talent in crafts and interior decoration. She is the official decorator and creative designer for hantaran of all the cousins wedding. Her husband, Abang Mat, works for the KTM.

A loving family indeed. Kak Amy has shown me the height of a mother's love to her children. For once, she literally put her life on the line in the hope that her son's life would be better.

At the time I wrote this entry, Kak Amy got discharged from the hospital a few hours earlier. Nubli, on the other hand had to live in the hospital for another few weeks until the doctor confirms that the kidney works properly on him.

I pray to Allah for all the blessings He could give to this family. As far as I know, this is the biggest sacrifice a mother, normal mortal mother had done for the sake of their children.

We all have, in one way or another, had an argument with our Mother. Haven't we? I am very sure if there is any of us, who claims he or she had never got into an argument, in any way, is a liar.

So, please.. think about it. No matter how many arguments you got into with your mom.. No matter how intense it could get to debate over certain personal issue with your mom. How her nagging could melt the earwax in your ears.. YOUR MOM LOVES YOU despite of all that.

Always remember that.. (and this is a remonder to me too..)


END

p.s. think of this, some of us don't even get to do all that or to feel all that.. be thankful that your mom is still alive to share her life with you.
