This was the news I recieved:
“… the militants, targeted a mosque inside an officers’ residential colony in Parade Lane, Rawalpindi Saddar, during Friday prayers in which Col. Kaleem Zuberi’s father Muhammed Ahmed Zuberi and his son Abdullah Zuberi have achieved martyrdom. Both were residing in the mosque when explosions took place.
Other martyors include 17 children, 10 civilians and 9 army personnel.
It was indeed very very sad news, the deceased M.A. Zuberi was my grandfather’s cousin, & was close to the family…
We realize, what goes through the families of the numbers of people we see as a list almost everyday….in a bomb blast.
What happens when a family member or a loved one is lost in vain, due to some vandalistic procuring, suicidal bombing or targeted killing of people as was this brutal attack on our family & others.
It’s not just sad but heart breaking to think of some one to lose his father, or his son that too the eldest. But to lose both in a single day & that too in this catalasmic fashion is pure torture.
We are all grievious….words cannot express our distress. For words are just words, what we feel is beyond all that….
We are at war, it’s time we all realized it. Lets Pray for this family, our own families & our neighbours and people we dont even know.
Lets pray that their lives dont go away in vain.
Lets try & make them feel that we are there, for them.
Lets pray that this grief becomes a little softer.
Lets just pray….
peace
