感想

今天是 Uncle Henry 的 funeral。 我还是很不相信他已经不在了。心里还是很伤心难过,应为他走的太突然了。我心里有个遗憾,就是在新年的时候,从房里听到他的声音,却没下楼跟他拜年。这是应为 Uncle Henry 这一两年都是很早来我家和 Grandma 拜年。通常都是自己来,应为朋友会到他家打麻将。今年,我有听Mom 说他有 complain 他的脚痛。Haizz ... 想起来觉得很没有礼貌。

今天,Raymond 和 Ricky 分享了他们对父亲的感言。非常感动。我心里在想,如果 .... 如果 ... 是我,
我会说什么呢。我真的不知道。

Raymond 说这段日子,有三个奇迹。

(一)就是他父亲遇到了他母亲,所以才会他们三兄妹
(二)他和弟弟 Edwin 小时候是在 St. Paul's Kindergarden 上学的。Raymond 就是从哪儿开始认识了耶稣。当时父亲还没接受主。奇妙的是父亲在 2006 年在 St. Paul's Church 接受了主,过后就在St. Paul's 教会崇拜。
(三)就是 Uncle Henry 的姐姐,妹妹和他的 reconciliation just before he passed on。 A prayer of reconciliation was prayed just before he passed on.

真的是非常奇妙。

Raymond 也读了孙子想对爷爷说的话。我听了眼泪不知不觉都流了下来。Coffin 里面也放了好多孙子的drawings.

今天 Auntie Tina问我为什么 Ricky 会穿SAF的军服出席父亲的 funeral。原来是给爸爸一个salute,感谢他。

回家的途中,Mom 说 她觉得很 surprised Auntie Wah 会这么坚强。我对 Mom 说,这是应为她和家人都信主的原因。主赐给她力量,平安和勇气。Auntie Wah 也知道 Uncle Henry 上了天当.他们一家人还是会相遇.

As for me, i've still got to pray and work very hard on my whole family. Doesn't help that time passes by so fast. But one thing for sure, i'm perservering.

Saying Goodbye Is The Hardest Thing

Goodbye Uncle Henry.

I guess i am probably still in shock after i heard that Uncle Henry passed away this afternoon. That probably explains why i am really tired and a little unwell but just can't go to bed.

It was just earler this week when i heard that Uncle Henry had a high fever and wasn't feeling very well. He went to see our long time family doctor and was asked to be admitted to the hospital right away. Well, some of us were still guessing that it's probably due to dengue or he couldn't take the cold weather in Taiwan. Mom has been calling his wife, Auntie Wah for updates fathfully every night after dinner. All mom could say was bad, bad, bad. I wonder how bad is bad until yesterday afternoon when i was driving mom to grandma's place, mom told me that it was bone cancer / leukemia. I was still telling mom that there is nothing much we can do but to pray for him.

Yes, that explains why i am in a big shock now. I think mom and dad are quite affected by it. I can understand why.
