I just found out, my favourite uncle Saeed Khokar passed away this past Thursday morning 16 November, 2006 in Karachi, Pakistan due to oral cancer-related complications. He was in his early 40s.

I am heart broken over this news. He leaves behind 5 kids and a grieving widow, his eldest is only 16.

His oral cancer was discovered sometime in the summer, 7 months ago, I don’t even recall… rather don’t wish to recall.

It wasn’t supposed to end this way, his cancer just never went away, it just was so malignant that it grew at such a rapid pace down his throat to his tongue and his lungs that even I find it alarming. In the end, he was unable to talk, eat or rest…

I am not relishing the telling, infact I am mourning the passing. Life just seems so fragile and bonds between family feel taut and delicate. I do not know who to talk to about how this death has affected me. I felt writing about it might help me cope.

I still can’t believe next time I visit home, I won’t see him, talk with him and joke with him…

I still can’t believe the stark reality about the fragility of life.

May God give him eternal peace. He suffered overmuch in this world in the end.

    Dear Fareena, Assalam O Allaykum!

    I would like to express my deepest condolences to you, for this tragedy.
    Last time I saw you that grieved when you’d lost your loving grand mother.

    This is life Fareena.

    I pray Allah to appease your heart.
    And I also pray for your uncle’s family – May Allah give them strength and courage.

    A forgotten friend,
    Navaid.
