Warkah buat abah..

I watched a small man with thick calluses

on both hands work fifteen and sixteen

hours a day. I saw him once literally bleed

from the bottoms of his feet, a man who

came here uneducated, alone, unable to speak the language,

who taught me all I needed to know about faith

and hard work by the simple eloquence of his example."

-- Mario Cuomo

Tepat jam 4 petang aku mendapat panggilan telefon dr umi..umi cakap sakit abah makin teruk. Umi harap aku pulang cpat cuz leh gantikan tugas abah buat smentara waktu. Maaf umi..along xbleh nk blik lg skrang..nt esok,luse lps project paper siap along blik..!! abah sbnarnye skit gout..tp sblum2 ni skit abah xteruk mcm ni. Dlu pling trukpn kaki abah bengkak je.tp still bleh jalan. Dah hmpir sbulan skit abah dtang lgi..ari khmis lpas aku blik rumah..keadaan abah masih stabil. Walaupun trpksa gnekan tongkat u bjalan tp abah msih nk g kedai. Kata abah kita bekerja xleh harapkan org lain. slagi kte mampu kte prlu brusaha.
