Shazlee was my ex-student
20-year-old brat
Smart rugby player
Carefree photographer
Funny “IT Manager”

He must be wildly terrified
Live?
Die?
Two classic options
Two natural standard operating procedures

Life is too short
A predictable cliché, isn’t it?
But not for him
Who is struggling for a longer life
Who is hoping for a longer future

I can hardly imagine
How would he go through such pain?
What if life is really too short?
Why did it happen to a young man?
Where have the angels been?
When did God decide it to happen?
I am disturbed

Be stronger Shazlee
Pain?
Suffer?
I am scared too

But do believe in miracles Shazlee
Faith?
Survive?
I am terrified too

We plan
God plans
But He plans better

You will make it through
For there will be a new meaningful life
Waiting for you
InsyaAllah

Fight them Shazlee
It is your self-belief, courage and perseverance
That will conquer those cancers
Not the chemotherapy

Be the Antonym of Dying
