Dear Ya Elhajj,
Issa Dingleee -wasssa Dang-la, When I see your writings as a support note on my postings, then I feel that my writings are authenticated.
I wish I could be in Sweden and pray next to you on Tobaski day and BBQ with you. If I do not . Please pray for me and for all of us. You are gifted by god. So pray on, like Hammer once said "Lets Pray".
The essence:Sad that Musa Sey is gone but we will all go one day soon and the best way to stay put is to be sincere and to expect it every munite in everyday with alll your HEART. Kulu Nafssin, sayi hatul mauti.
May god guide and protect us all.
In the name of the heavens
