THE
SWEETEST MOMENT IN MY LIFE
By Noor Syazwani bt Sabri (G2.7)
It was raining outside,
shaterring rentlessly on[1] my window panes. My finger
reached out for my blanky, my faithful companion for this past few years and[2] for my source of comfort.
I burried my nose into the liliac cotton quilt, the familiar smell somehow
brought a nostalgic feeling to my soul. Blanky never fails to remind me of dad.
Memories that I tried so hard to forget them, came flooded in my mind once again. Tears fell down[3] from the edge of my
lashes.
Until today I can still
remember his gentle face, his pair of dark brown eyes and his mesmerizing smile
that always brighten up our days. Dad is a very energetic person who loves
telling jokes, the live wire in our
family. I always treasure the precious moments we did awesome things together. Oh![4] How exciting. Back then, we even had our own
mini swimming pool which Dad made himself at[5] Opah’s backyard.
Dad is the greatest
inspiration in our family. He did an excellent job for both[6]
motivator and great listener in my
family. Dad never fails to put a smile on my face even when his days aren’t that
good. Although[7] Dad is strict, he is a
very loving and kind hearted father that I doubt there is a better Dad than
mine, he is one of a kind!.
Unfortunately, the sweet
moments didn’t last forever as dad passed away because[8]
of a deadly disease ; lung cancer. Worst is, it was on his birthday that I had
decided to give him the quilt that I sew myself or ‘blanky’ as a birthday
present. I was devastated. For months I would not speak to a soul about the
sweet memories Dad and I once shared. The memories were forever locked up
inside[9] my heart.
The rain cleared, and the
stars that were hidden by dark clouds a few moments ago once again seen. I held
‘blanky’ tight to my heart, convicing myself that off ‘every cloud has a silver lining’. I learnt from this painful
experience to cherish each moment of life, because time is too precious to waste.
