Ok so as i was telling u there are some good and bad moments... i got a call from my mom one day maybe in February, 2010 n saying that my uncle Ibrahim is coming from Canada to Lebanon as he had some pain in his stomach ..
Unfortunately this pain turned out to be cancer when i knew it was really hard .. my mom was trying to avoid telling me but of course i was going to know ...
Ibrahim is more than an uncle .. he is 38 now n am 26 so only 12 years difference .. he s been always my friend and even more .. he played the role of a brother for me coz i don’t have one ,.. I love him so much .. i remember when he moved to Canada in 2004 i cried .. of course not in front of him but it was really hard to continue my life in Lebanon without him .. we used to do scuba diving together .. as he had a school n boat a few times i went fishing with him .. he was my idol .. i always tried to be like him ..
His cancer is quiet serious .. it s stage 4 .. the last .. which means that it is spread .. in his stomach n liver.. hA he responded to most of his treatments but his last scan wasn’t too good .. the cancer cells in his liver start to increase now the doctor changed his medicine hopefully he will respond again ..
I donno if he will make it or not .. i always make dua for him but what s happening is a real tragedy .. his father .. my grandfather died from cancer too .. he died when my grandma was pregnant in Ibrahim.. she was in 8mnths and they named him Ibrahim just like his father s name .. and now my uncle Ibrahim is ill too and his wife is pregnant .. unbelievable ..
Anwya .. i donno how life will be if he dies .. especially for my grandma .. .like in the past she buried her husband and now maybe her son ,, it s really hard .. but i ask Allah for his mercy .. for myself i donno what will happen but life will go on and our gathering is not in this life ..it is in Heaven hopefully .. in fact am really happy coz my uncle started praying and he s been a good muslim lately .. we ve done umrah together .. it was really nice .. he knows n understands Islam now more than ever n he likes it a lot .. hA ..
My uncle Ibrahim is one of the nicest person i know .. he s so generous .. he never lets people pay .. he always wants to invite .. a real gentlemen .. i remember when i was young n i had Sega Mega Drive .. the console game .. he used to bring me some games .. although some games cost a lot at that time .. now when i go Lebanon i always try to be with him n cheer him up .. n have fun with him.. but in my last visit he was really down .. n tired .. u know the chemotherapy is a very hard treatment .. it is a really tough disease cancer ... i donno what will happen to him when i write to u next time .. but hopefully he will be with us .. also .. even long time before his cancer when people used to ask what u want to name ur son in future .. i always used to say Ibrahim.. i donno why but all people that i like are name Ibrahim especially my uncle ..
Come on Bob get cured .. it s not gonna be the same with out :( .. I love you BOBBBBBBBBBBBB
