You will miss this human Pakistan. Mark my words that you have an angel amongst you and it is because of people like him Pakistan is breathing.

Give him respect that he deserves and recognition that you as nation owe him.

Ya Allah grant him best of health for many years to come. Take all the politicians and generals from us but keep Edhi Sahib with us years to come. Aameen!
