The Passing of Two Lives
March 12, 2007by Housewife4Palestine
Every once in while a person seems to have to stand back and take stock of their life, especially when events that come our way seem to bring all of this about especially the important things in ones personal life.
The other day, a friend of my husband’s was shot between the eyes in America during a store robbery, apparently by two black men.
The friend, was 65 years old and the owner of a quaint corner market.
What is ironic, they where living in America where one would think it would be safer from being shot then in Palestine, but this were not the case. Most of all, this senseless death was for money.
While if I understood my husband correctly, these men that committed such a heinous act where caught by the police and are sitting in jail; but crimes such as this never seem to always get completely resolved.
Then we had the added sorrow, of a cousin just 45 years old dying of a heart attack, which my husband is spending time with the male members of the family for this.
I think how both these men are leaving family members and wives alone with the sorrow they are no longer with us to share the joys of their lives.
When occurrences such as this make’s one sit back to appreciate the love ones that are in our daily lives, for I can not help thinking that love of ones country is very important, but so is the love of family and friends which we cherish in spoonfuls from the heart.
One thing I have never completely understood is the way or how a person has passed away; seems to affect our lives or emotions in different ways.

Ahelen HWFP,
I am so very sorry you are going through this right now, it must be VERY difficult. Sometimes it seems like just so many bad things happen all at one time and the sorrow just keeps piling on. The robbery, that is beyond words to think someone owns a store, that is his HOME away from home, and someone came in and killed him for money. This shows simply, there was no value for life, haram. 45 years old and dying of a heart attack, that is just tragic. The families left behind, tragic. I will keep all of you in my prayers, be safe, and may Allah help you all through this horrible time of grief. Masalama
Ahalan,
Thank you very much for your kindness Robin, it seems that in just a very short few months that two member’s of my family has been murdered, now a friend of the family and a cousin dying of health problems.
It was kind of a shock of the family friend being murdered in a robbery though, but the city he is living in is rampant with robbery murder’s at this time I know.
Someone dying at 45, is becoming to much of an occurrence in our times with the fast pace and hard work people have to do now to take care of their family.
I wish you much care too and thank you so much for thinking of me.
