“I forget my parents are getting older” – Daughter of Former PM Ismail Sabri Updates on Father’s Condition

Former Prime Minister, Ismail Sabri was rushed to the hospital on Saturday (February 22) after he was found unconscious at his residence. 

In his daughter’s Instagram stories @ninaismailsabri, Nina Sabrina shared a quick update about her father’s condition, who is now awake and in improved condition. Nina also reminded everyone to “trust their instincts” and not to delay going to the hospital for checkups.

With her father getting the treatment in hospital, Nina took a trip down memory lane and reflected on how much things have changed without her noticing.

“I forget that my parents are getting older”

In another Instagram story yesterday (February 23), Nina shared a picture with her father that was taken in 2014, which she stumbled upon in her gallery while waiting for the former PM to wake up.

A photo is worth a thousand words, and Nina reflected a lot about what she may have missed in the present by looking into the past.

“I didn’t realise that my father has aged. I keep saying that I am getting old, and that I sometimes forget my parents are getting way older.”

“Yesterday got me thinking about how many years left I have with them. It’s scary to even imagine a world without them.”

Reflecting on how many of her peers have lost their parents, Nina said that she prays and seeks help from the Almighty to grant her parents a long, peaceful, and happy life.

“I pray for their long, healthy life so I can spend as much time as I want with them.”

Nina also took the opportunity to remind others to ALWAYS check on the old folks at home and spend as much time as they can with the elderly while they can. Communicating with the elderly at home can be tough sometimes but Nina reminded others and said,

“Just be patient when they’re being annoying sometimes. May Allah grant our parents long life and good health.”

As of today (February 24), Ismail Sabri is still warded as he requires monitoring. The doctor also does not allow visitors, except for Ismail’s family members, reported BERNAMA.

Have you checked in on your parents at home? To those who are married or living on your own, when was the last time you spoke to your parents and shared tidbits of your life with them?
