I left Planet Earth in peace and tranquility on February 2nd. I leave behind my wife and soulmate, Naseem, without whom this journey would not have been possible.
My goodbyes also to my lovely daughters, Azra (Fiyaz), Afshan (Anthony); my grandchildren, Rayyan, Ayla, Layla, and Amara. I leave behind my brothers, Aly (Nasim), Azim (Razia), Talib (Nargiz); and sister, Shahnaaz.
To all my family and friends I say thank you for your compassion, kindness, smiles and availability. Also to my wonderful caregivers, especially, Randy White, who was with me for 10 years. My journey was made easier because of all of you.
I gave my family and friends ample time to prepare so do not weep for me. My life has been fulfilling and I leave with no regrets.
A special thank you to the Doctors, and staff of the QEII Health Sciences Centre.
In lieu of flowers, please share with your favourite charity, or mine: Aga Khan Foundation Canada.
