Salman – as a brother

October 31, 2009 Ayesha 2 Comments

A gem, a brother who said nothing when I use to scold/taunt him, a brother who never said no when I asked for anything, a brother who wouldn’t make face if I make him get up from sleep, always back me up if I ever had a fight with anyone, always laugh on my jokes/gangster activities, would call me by names that would make me laugh/smile, would always thank me for each and every work I would do for him, a brother who didn’t know how to order for any work, he would only request me

… and how bad sister he had… if he used to wake me up from sleep I used to make face, I used to get rude, rudeness wasn’t in his dictionary, he didn’t know how to say no.

Many friends have written for him, many people are remembering him in good words, imagine how he have been as a brother, as a son..

A GEM! words can’t define all that.., never! I can write on him all day/night… his qualities won’t end… but… just a prayer

Salman, May Allah grant you the highest rank of Jannat! *ameen*
Salman, forgive me for those hurting I did, for the tries we did to get you back to life, those tries might have hurted you, you didn’t speak a word but you might be hurt.. Please forgive me.. please forgive your sister who isn’t even 5% good compared to you.. PLEASE?

Salman Mehmood the founder of Thalassemia.com.pk is no longer among us. He left this world at 2 pm PST on 19th October 2009 due to meningitis.

He was a thalassemic himself, 24 years old, working as a web developer for a US based company named ‘Directors Advantage’.

His dream was to save next generation from thalassemia, he wanted badly assembly to pass the thalassemia prevention bill and how unlucky of him that bill just got pass when he died…, he wanted to aware every single soul about thalassemia, he even mentioned his cause on a TV show, you can see the video on Youtube.

Rest about him I won’t write because other bloggers/journalist/writers have written on him a lot. As a brother he was a gem!

Am posting some of the articles/posts written on him, I will be including more whenever they are available to me:
