Beloved brother Ahmad Khairi bin Mohamed

It's been a while, I was not in a mood to write. But today, I've decided to share about my beloved 2nd brother, my late brother, Ahmad Khairi bin Mohamed.

He left us on 5th November 2013. Heart attack. I consider it as a sudden death because he's fit, still young (for me) at aged 52 years old and active.

I would say, a good person will 'go' early. When I was a little girl, he's the brother that I closed to since my 1st brother was in US, further his studies.

I am the youngest (siblings of 5) in a family with far gap with my 4th sister. Every time he came back, he'll bring me something. Toys, dresses, food etc but when he didn't come back for quite sometimes, Mom will send him a letter, "Baliklah anakanda ku Khairi, adindamu Dalin amat merinduimu....". That was the words, I read it and still fresh in my memory.

Abang Khairi, which I called him Bang Teh is a simple person. He's funny, humble and a loving brother. He's a type of person who will feed his sisters (Kak Mas, Kak Yang & me) with his own hands, even after we grown up, married & have kids. He's a type of person who will consume her kids left over food without feel disgust. He's a type of person, what ever it takes, what ever his condition is, will help his siblings whenever I am in need (but I was grown up from the supportive family. We were trained by our parents to always be there when our family need us the most..Blessed)

Abang Teh is a soft spoken brother. I never see him angry. I never hear him shouting at other people. He has friends from different range of ages. Everybody likes him.. He's a happy-go-lucky type. Nobody will know what's inside him except the persons who closed to him i.e. cousins. He wouldn't want to bother his siblings with his problems, instead he's the one who will cheer us up. Ohh...how I miss my brother.

He told me once, he wants to give the best to his family. His thought was just like my late Dad. "Abang Teh takde harta nk tinggal for Kak Angie (his wife), Andy & Harrisya. Tapi Bang Teh sekolahkan anak2 Bang Teh supaya mereka boleh hidup senang in the end". He always consider himself as the black goat in a family because he didn't do well in his studies. But I looked up on him.

Yes, people won't realize until they've lost something. I lost my loving brother. My Abang Teh who always said to me, "Adik boleh ke buat ini...Adik boleh ke buat tu.." Just because I am the youngest and he always have a thought that I am his little sister.

He is....so....KIND HEARTED. He never tell bad things about other people. NEVER. He's been cheated many times in business but NEVER a word, cursing to the persons. "Bukan rezeki Bang Teh", he said.

" Ya Allah, forgive Ahmad Khairi Mohamed. Make him among the guided ones, raise his status and be his deputy among the grieving. Ya Allah forgive us and him and make his grave wide and full of light. Ya Allah! Forgive him and have mercy on him and give him strength and pardon him. Be generous to him and cause his entrance to be wide and wash him with water and snow and hail.
Cleansehim of his transgressions as white cloth is cleansed of stains. Take him into Paradise and protect him from the punishment of the grave and the fire. You are The Forgiving, The Most Merciful"
