Missed Sunday__Lonely fight

Ali has shown improvement with temp. falling to normal.
He asked me what else can I tell him, I asked him what did I say last time
He remembered correctly (Listening with somewhat sleepy eyes, but) evidently listeneing very attentively to what I say. This has always been usual with him. "Tell me uncle something to remember" And I end up scratching my head to come up with something.
So I had told him, baitay this illness and lying in bed away from all the hullabalu of the life with attractions and distractions, is a lonely fight with the disease.
You are the only warrior in this battle. It is one on one fight.
Others who come to help you they ask you how are you and pray for you and they wish you well etc. etc. and the doctors and nurses come and give you medicines and words of comfort and in fact try to make you comfortable in bed etc. etc.
But YOU fight the illness yourself and you have to gather all your inner strength of spiritual and psychological and physical powers to put them to work for you. Nobody can do that BUT you.
I told him I went through an illness in my younger days being in bed for about three months or so. I remember missing all the fun that others were able to enjoy by just going out and seeing their friends, classmates and relatives. I missed doing things that I used to do to have fun. My brother brought books, novels for me to read, of which I still remember the one that I enjoyed most "The hound of the Baskervilles" and others like "saint" series.
I was not as comfortable reading English novels then but these "mysteries" captured my attention very easily. (I was more comfortable reading Urdu.)
I remembered my "loneliness" and so I told him dont feel lonely but try to get your inner spiritual strength based on Iman and your personal connection with your Creator. That will help your recovery insh-Allah
Ali still needs lots of prayers folks.
