Sajid Is No Longer With Us

I m extreamely sadden by the passing of one of the great contributor's of this site. His advise and strenght has been n important part of this forum. I have rarely written  on this site but I made it a point to read as much info as I can and have read much about Sajid. Though I didn't know him his passing has moved me to tears

May god be with him and his family at this very trying times

i am in total shock.  i cannot even begin to comprehend that sajid is no longer with us.  he was the constant on this site and his wise words and keeping everyone up on the latest news was  reassuring .

to his family- i am so sorry for your loss.  to lose a child ...... my heart goes out to you all.

I am sorry if i am over reacting,but Sajid's demise has got me thinking,i never believed that one day i'll get attached so much to the people i've never met,but i feel like relation or friendship we have is may be like blood ties,may be even more then that,our problems are same ,along with our grieves and happiness,i just feel like sajid would have wanted it.
What i really wanna say is that i think we should be in a bit more closer contact,emails are no use if the person is not using internet,so may be something like phone numbers?
It's just an advice,it's totally up to you,if you feel like there is no harm in doing so,exchange your phone numbers with others,with whom you feel most comfortable with on this forum,whom you consider is close enough!
I think i can start it by asking Umair,please PM me your number bro,if you don't mind,i just don't wanna loose any one of you.

We miss you Sajid.

Zaini.

My dear sister Zaini,

I understand you completely.  I think that we have all become very close.  Perhaps we have gotten to know each other better than we would even if we lived next door to each other.  We share our inner most concerns and thoughts with each other everyday.  Losing Sajid has shown me how much you can become attached to someone who is not physically in close proximity.  Lucky for us his posts are here, and he left his thoughts and his advise with us. 

My son was also beginning to correspond with Sajid, I shared the heartbreaking news with him last night because he needed to know why mommy was so distraught.  It was very difficult to do and I think he is wondering why I couldn't help him.  I wish there was something I could have done. 

I have left you my phone number this morning in a facebook message, please call me anytime - or leave me you number and I will call you. 

Take care,

Sharmin

Good morning to all.
May you all have a better day than yesterday .

Umair I am here ,If you need to chat. you are not alone.  we all care for you  .Sajid knew the reason why he invited you to joint this forum. so honour him please be strong ,Prayers will help you  with your grief.
Take care  .

Kathy

Thank you so much Kathy for being strong for everyone.

Sharmin

Dear Sharmin.
Sajid would like us to go on as usual.
Be strong my friend,
Love from Kathy

Hi  Zaini.

WE get attached to our  friends  that is because we chose them.
 where as for family were are stuck with them, without a choice.

That's what I meant when I say I love you all. because I chose to be friends every person  without condition,
Its a special  kind    of friendship and its a gift from god. we all get as much as we give.
 its good to be altruistic
 
 Sajid was an altruism

Zaini be strong and take care.
Lots of Love from  Kathy

I am shocked. Have no words. Logged in after two months and this is the first thing I read. Inna lillahi wa inna illaihi rajioon.

I just found out last night that a good friend of mine has died.
Sajid was a constant rock to me.
He was one of the first Thalassaemics on line that reached out his hand to acknowledge and support me.
At the moment my head is swamped with emotions and thoughts.
Physically we have never met as he lives in Pakistan but emotionally I am very attached to him.
He was always on line ready to encourage and support me as I live and deal with the Thalassaemia.
I hope that he is looking down on all of his thal pals smililng and still encouraging us as we move through life.
The greatest tribute I can give to his memory is to continue to inform others about Thalassaemia and to survive with Thalassaemia.
A wonderful person that I will truly miss.

The technology used here is known as SQUID.

It had been discussed before but it is not as successful as FerriScan as this requires a special dedicated hardware while FerriScan can be implemented to existing MRI machines that match the specs.

Because of this SQUID is more expensive.

Thursday , 18th , September , 2008 ..
it is the date when you met me for the last time ....
20, september when i recieved the mail from his cousin that contained the message

" INNAL LILAHEE WA INAL ELAIHEE RAJIUON.... MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PEACE DEAREST SAJID .....
THIS IS THE LAST EMAIL I HAVE FROM HIM.....YOU WERE A VERY NICE PERSON AND WILL BE MISSED. DEAR ALL PLEASE PRAY FOR HIS MAGFIRAT INSHALLAH.
WE HOPE ALLAH (SWT) GIVES PATIENCE TO OUR FAMILY ESPECIALLY TO HIS MOTHER "

.... i thought that it could be a bad joke in reply of the joke of sajid in which he was pointing the mistake of government official , and the person is telling him that he will no more free to walk on the streets of RWP .... but it was telling something else , something that is still unbelievable for me ...

21, september when i felt that its too long that i havn't meet to sajid then i sent a mail to his cousin , and asked her that wat she is talking about ... if that is a joke then its a bad joke and plz no more joke ...  but.. it is my fate, that it wasn't a joke ... i cant type anymore , i will try to share my of time i spent with sajid on internet .... i cant believe its all that happening to me is for the person to whom i had never meet .....

UMAIR

I am very sorry to get this unfortunate news.

May his soul rest in peace.
