“I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life...” ~Abraham Lincoln
It has been exactly 2 weeks since my emak suffered a hemorrhagic stroke. She was brought to Melaka Hospital unconscious. It was a miracle when she opened her eyes on the 3rd day and able to move her left hand and leg.
For a week, my emak stayed in the hospital under close observation. The stroke had left half her body paralyzed and impaired her speech and swallowing totally but her hearing and eyesight is still alert and she is able to acknowledge when called.
The doctor allowed my emak to be brought home when she showed improvement and her blood pressure stabled. She may be bed-ridden and still on nasogastric tube feeding but being in her own home and nearer to my Abah and being taken care by her beloved children, hopefully will make her feel comfortable and at peace.
The sky is clear and cloudless tonight,
I watch you sleep, peaceful and quiet
Recalling so many memories of me and you
I sit here in my silence praying for you…
Hundreds of stars in the sky together,
But you are my only mother to have forever…
