My beloved cousin is gone

We seek peace from the day we are forced out of our ever shrinking small confinements of our mothers' warm safe womb. We are slapped into shockingly taking our first breath. From our horrific first minutes, all throughout our lives, we seek peace, we yearn for love. We earnestly hunt for love and peace until we either gracefully or forcibly take that very last breath. Some find the love, some find the peace. Some find the love and peace. Some strive all their lives for their happily ever after.

My beloved cousin, Carolyn, took her last breath this morning. May Allah be pleased with her and all her good deeds be magnified.
