Today marks what would have been my father’s 100th birthday — a century since the day he came into this world and began a life that would leave an enduring mark on everyone who knew him. Though he may no longer be with us, his presence continues to guide, inspire, and comfort us in countless ways.

He lived with integrity, kindness, and quiet strength. His wisdom filled our home and shaped our paths, and his love remains the foundation of our family. A hundred years later, his lessons still echo — in the way we treat others, in the values we uphold, and in the stories we share about him.

Today, we celebrate not just the years he lived, but the legacy he left behind — one of love, resilience, and unwavering faith. His memory is a light that continues to shine brightly in our hearts.

Al-Fatihah untuk Bapak & Ibu, 19 February 2026
