One Last Goodbye

Past 3 days has been quite hectic for all involved, especially for Aunty Julie and mom, one losing a husband and companion and the other a brother. Uncle Wah leaves behind a brother, sister, a wife & father and a whole bunch of nephews and nieces.

He has always been the most jovial of the uncles. He loves kids and sadly he has none of his own. We were all his "kids". He would always muck around with us no matter how old we are right up to his very last days...when he was still healthy. Sitting at the church's funeral parlour and receiving his friends & ex-colleagues at the wake i realised that he is a man that will be fondly remembered by them. Some of his younger colleagues even call him 'papa'. They shed tears freely for him. He was as loving and caring with them as he was with us. We will all miss him at our family dinners, gatherings, wan lup & tai tee sessions especially during CNY.

Aunty Julie shared that when he was in pain while going through his cancer treatment sessions, he hated the pain of not being able to Hope, Dream & plan What's Next... more than the pain of the treatment he had to go through. Such was the struggle that he had to go through till his very last breath. Finally today we lay him to rest and commit his soul to God.
A loving husband, son, brother, uncle and friend...we will miss you. Thank you for all that you are and Goodbye...

Hey. So sorry to hear that. But I guess he's been loved and loved in his life. Nothing could take away that.
