A Single Tear
April 30, 2007by Housewife4Palestine
There is a saying that come’s to mind as my family is marred by another tragic event:
“When a child is born you rejoice in one breath and you shed a single tear within the other breath, because of the test’s one has to go through in their lifetime. But when a person reach’s the end of their days, you rejoice because they made it though.”
Earlier today a member of my family who was only twenty-one years old was killed in a car accident and while there is so many ways in this life to die, it seems beside’s wars , drugs and car accident’s always seems to be the top of the list. Not taking into account at the moment the rise in suicide.
My husband was contacted and is traveling to the funeral, so for a time I sit here, pray some and wait with the tears swelling in my eye’s and a sad heart.
I wish their was a way and I do not know how nor so I think anyone else does except Allah, how to keep the children of this world safe and happy.
Maybe, someday we will learn a way, the same we will find total peace in all of our hearts.
Note:
I was just reminded and I admit I do forget sometimes, that it was just Allah’s plan; this is the answer to the why.
Update:
This is how he was killed:
Their was seven in the car when they where hit, two went threw the windshied.
While one was rushed to the hospital and at this time is apparently going to be ok.
The relative who was twenty-one years old, who also had went through the windshield into the road; was ran over by a vehicle with a trailer.

My heart goes out to you my dear Sister. May you never know of such sorrows again.
May your young relative find his eternal rest among the Angels in a world of Peace.
DesertPeace,
Thank you my friend for thinking of me and your very kind words, that saying was told to me by my mother when I was a young girl; when I had to witness my first experience with death.
Since then in one’s life you have to witness so much horror along with sorrow and even though I am so much older now, I still question why?
I am apart of a very good family and no I am not gloating, just trying to explain and I know in my heart he will see Paradise and inshaallah one day we will see each other.
I think the sorrow is more for his immediate family because they will not have the joy of his presence with them for a time, especially his mother to look upon his smiling face.
Assalamu Alaikum,
Inshaallah, your heart will feel better soon. Everyone will die, and there is not any way to prevent the exact place and time of the death. Be content and satisfied with Allah's plan, as Allah is the most wise.

Assalamu Alaikum,
While I did not think you was other then reminding and consoling me, so their is not need to forgive you of anything because you did nothing wrong.
Something, I have noticed in myself too lately when trying to do the same for other's, is some time's I may think I come over harsh when it was never my intention.
What I think happens is we wish the best so much for a person, that it may seem to come out that way through no fault.
Just please take care and be happy. :D
