thanks to you

Dear you.. I want to thank you again and again, because saying it once or twice more still couldn't pay back the kindliness you've ever given me. You, who was ever be someone I always depend on to, someone with whom I felt safe and sound, someone with whom I could still remember how the way happiness of a little girl happened to me although it was already more that ten years ago.. But when Allah took you back with Him and left us all in this perishable life, I learned something precious, that I can't depend on people to make me happy. Only Allah in His immeasurable compassionate can do that. So I learn to put my trust only in Him.

Thank you for teaching me how to love
Showing me what the world means
What I've been dreamin' of
And now I know, there is nothing that I could not do
Thanks to You 


For teaching me how to feel
Showing me my emotions
Letting me know what's real
From what is not
What I've got is more that I'd ever hoped for
And a lot of what I hope for is
Thanks to you 


No mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace
Can't stop me from believing
That my love will pull me through
Thanks to You 


There's no mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace
Can't stop me from believing
That my love will see me through
Thanks to You
Thanks to You 


For teaching me how to live
Putting things in perspective
Teaching me how to give
And how to take
No mistake
We were put here together
And if I breakdown
Forgive me but it's true
That I'm aching with the love I feel inside
Thanks to You
Thanks to you

I've just randomly stumbled across the lyrics of Tyler Collins's Thanks to You, and it is something that can be pretty much related to what I write now.
Few days ago, where we all celebrated the festivity of eid day, did visits to gather with big family members and forgave all the mistakes that have ever happened among us with all the kith and kin.. on August 31 for exact, I still imagined what if my beloved daddy was still here with us? We could have celebrated his birthday as well now.. But I swallowed those questions back, because I know, he is now already in the best place where he should be, resting in peace. And I also learn to believe that the things happened to us human are all under Allah's will. 

...happy birthday Papa, you know I always remember you and pray for you from down here :)
