To All Parents... :'(

Read this and watch the link video.

I truly feel sad for the family of the boy. My heart bleeds when I heard the heart-wrenching news. I wish I knew the parents of the boy. I want to convey my condolences. I want to console them. I want to hug the mom. I want to lend my shoulder for her to cry on. I want her to know that I grieve with her.

It could have been my children. They recovered from HFMD last two week.

Just to share my personal experience.

To tell you the truth, if Afiqah had not complaint of headache and chest pain, I wouldn't know that she got the HFMD. Something moved me to take a torch light and looked for the sign. I saw very tiny ulcers in her mouth and very tiny blisters on her palm. My instinct told me that she got it. True enough. When we sent her to the doctor, she was diagnosed with HFMD.

Both Affandy and Afrina got it the next day.

My advise to all parents out there, even if your child do not complaint of any sickness, JUST CHECK ON THEM. It doesn't take forever to take a torch light and check on their mouth and hand. Do not take this matter lightly.

My heart goes to the boy. I do not even know his name, though he attended the same school as my children.

*sob sob* I need to hug my children right now.....

Sudden death is surely something not easy..especially for parents wif small kids like this particular boy.

Let's doa for his parents so that Allah gives them the strenght to face the test.

Huggs to u Rina.

Salaams.. Kak, I just heard it was a Malay boy, have yet to read the report on Straits Times today but my mum says the boy is so adorable.
Masya'allah...Its totally heart wrenching since we are parents too and can only imagine what his parents are going through..May Allah (swt) grant patience on them and give them Husnul Khotima for facing such a major trial.
Indeed, memang sudah nak ajal,but still its a reminder to all parents to be more aware of this disease..May we be safe from this harm. Amiin.
*sad ummi.*
