🦋 Sending love to my beautiful Aunt🌷

|
Hello again, Aunt Ying
You know…I can still feel your presence whenever I see a butterfly, especially those bright lovely ones.
It was you, isn’t it, Aunty, on that fine morning in early October? You were resting on the front gate for at least fifteen minutes. I was pleasantly surprised by the visit of this lovely butterfly. Its wings were bright yellow and orange at the side and the rest was grey. It looks like a butterfly on a canvas with more painting to be done.
I believe the shades of grey on its wings is a message that there will be storms in this life. And may we find the strength to overcome and feel comforted knowing that no storm will last forever.
I would like to think that your brief visit that day is to show us that you’re still near, thinking about us and watching over us. It’s also a reminder of the fragile short life we have here on earth.
And one day each of us will leave this earthly life behind and fly away like a butterfly. Another gentle reminder to count life in each and every moment and make the most of it.
I want you to know that seven years on, your spirit is still very much alive in my heart. I remember and will always be grateful for your warm welcome when I visited you (I wish I had visited you more often), for checking in on me when you didn’t hear from me for a while, for sharing your thoughts and opinions, for listening without judgment, but most of all for just being you, a beautiful aunt and friend.
Till we meet again as butterflies! ❤️

A lovely Sky Vine for my beloved aunt!

|
🕊Hello Aunt Ying,
yesterday I saw
this lovely purple flower
peeping through the door
as I was walking out
from my work place.
And today this flower
came to my mind again.
I believe you’re up there
in heaven looking down
at this same flower.
I think it’s a Sky Vine.
I’m reminded of all
the conversations we had
and thought about
the things that
were left unsaid.
In remembrance
of you today,
I choose…
calm over chaos,
joy over drama,
peace over conflict,
respect over disregard,
love over hate and
clarity over confusion.
Six years on,
I still think about you often
and miss you dearly still.
Much love, Pat 💕

A rose for my beloved aunt

|
I picked a beautiful rose for you, Aunt Ying…
and I took a stroll down memory lane;
Memories of you have walked
beside me for four years,
and they have constantly filled
my heart with gladness;
I’m forever thankful
for this priceless treasure.
Today, in your honor
I celebrate life,
and think of you with
love, gratitude and fondness.

Message to my aunt in heaven

flower fr nursery

Hello again, Aunt Ying
I thought about you today.  Though it is nothing new as I often thought about you in silence and whenever I see the beautiful plants and colourful flowers at the nursery near my home.
I remember those times we sat and talked.  Talking to you was always a treat.
We once talked about life and death.  You told me that one day you will die and I said, “Aunt, please don’t say that.”  But you said, “It’s a fact we must all accept.”  You then showed me a beautiful photo of yourself and said it will be the photo of your final journey.
Not too long after that you told me that you had trouble sleeping and you were getting quite forgetful.  I did not feel anything amiss at that time cos I was rather forgetful myself too.  
I feel sad and helpless when you told me you could no longer drive or do your own shopping.  I know how much you loved to be independent.  You said you would never want to be a burden to your family.
Also, you often spoke about your two loving daughters, both have made you felt really loved and blessed as a mother. And how much you loved and enjoyed being a grandma to your two wonderful grandsons.
I thought about my visit to your home with  Sydelle and Shaye in November 2016.  You said you felt very tired.  Though you did not say much on that day,  you looked at Sydelle and Shaye and uttered “They are very beautiful”.  Something you often said about the girls when we meet.  I’m thankful that we visited you that day.  But I never thought that would be our last goodbye.

Today, I will light a candle for you to let you know,
I miss your smile
I miss your voice
I miss your wit and your wisdom.
Rest in peace, Aunt Ying!
I shall see you one day on the other side of the stars.
Much love, Pat

Remembering my aunt

Hello Aunt Ying

I can’t believe it’s been a year since you left us.

I thought about you often after your passing.

And you even appear in my dream twice.

I’m glad you’re now free and at peace,

re-united again with grandma, uncle PW, and my dad.

I believe they were there to welcome you with open arms.

Only when I was in my 20s and started working

that I got to know you better.

 You seemed stern and strict to us when we were young.

But the truth was you were kind, understanding and witty.

And you were the aunt who would call me occasionally

to see how I was doing and for that I thank you.

Today, I want to remember

… your beautiful smile

… your warm hug

…your caring heart

…your love for gardening,

and your beautiful garden.

Also to  let you know that

you’re in our thoughts today and

we believe your spirit still lives among us.

Memories of you will continue

to linger in our hearts and

 we will always miss you.

Joke of the day – Medical checkup

|

images_doctor_checkup

An attractive young girl, chaperoned by an old crone, entered the doctor’s office. “We have come for an examination,” said the young girl.

“Alright,” said the doctor. “Go behind that curtain and take your clothes off.”

“No, not me,” said the girl. “It’s my old aunt here.”

“Very well… Madam, put your tongue out.”
