InshAllah, God-Alone Willing, I will update this blog post with more about my Grandmother’s life in a few days.

On this sunny cloudless morning in Milpitas, California, I choose not to remember her as she lay in her hospital bed in San José, for almost the past month.

For the moment, I choose to remember my Grandmother as she was in this simple video of everyday life recorded September 24 2004 in Fremont.

This is the last photo of me taken by my Grandfather, Syed Mahmood ul Hasan using my Kodak mc3 digital camera back on July 31 2001. I was taking so many photos that day, my Grandfather asked if he could snap a photo of us for a change. This is that photo. To my knowledge, it’s the last ever photo that my Grandfather ever took

He passed away peacefully at Washington Hospital in Fremont, California, Monday night at 10:55 p.m. pacific daylight time

He was buried yesterday at the Five Pillars Muslim Cemetery in Livermore, California after his funeral, Janaza, prayers at the Islamic Society of East Bay, the ISEB, in Fremont
