🌷For my dad in heaven…
Hello again, Dad,
Delle and I dropped by your final resting place yesterday. It has been a while since I last visited. I noticed there is a guardhouse now at the cemetery. And I thought why would a cemetery require guards when no one is planning on getting out and I am pretty sure no one is dying to get in. It’s just a little dark humour, Dad 😅
I would like to think that your spirit was with us while we were there. Delle is a beautiful young lady now and she’s almost 18. I believe you would be proud to know she is good in Math, just like you. She is an artist and talented bass player too. Shaye is 13 and she is as tall as Delle. She is a fashionista and a foodie. I will bring her along on our next visit.
I made a little gift for you, Dad. I learn how to make it from the YouTube. It’s a mini terrarium. I bought some lilies too. The supermarket where I live has a nice selection of flowers.
We planted some flowers too though I don’t even know what this plant is called. I cut some short twigs to plant at the bottom area. Delle decorated the sides with some stones and scattered some pieces of moss from the extra for the vase area.
You have left us for over two decades but you were not forgotten. So, it is not just words engraved on the stone (“Always remembered by loved ones”). It is a way to honour the connection of you as my father and I will continue to keep the memories and thoughts of you alive, Dad.
I am doing okay, Dad. I started singing again too. I remember a few days before you passed, you asked me to take you for a car ride. I would normally play the worship songs in the car for you. And I remember feeling amazed you could still sing along to the songs considering you were at the final stage of throat cancer.
I enjoyed visiting and embracing the quiet peace here. I am reminded how fleeting life can be and one day this is where it all ends. The only place where equality can be found in a seemingly unfair world.
Happy Heavenly Birthday, Dad!
Much love, Pat ❤️

💕Dad’s 21st Anniversary💫
and coincidentally today is
61 years since it was taken.
Hello Dad,
Today is the 21st anniversary
of your passing and
I want to remember
this day with gladness.
About 10 years ago,
I realized I have not
allowed myself to really
feel the pain of losing you.
And through writing
on this blog during your
anniversary and birthday,
I had finally found healing
and peace in my heart.
The kind of wealth you possess
was priceless and admirable.
you were amiable,
you were big hearted,
you were compassionate,
you were a true friend,
you loved animals and nature,
you read a lot and read till
your very last day and
you had a wonderful
sense of humour.
No, you were not perfect.
You had flaws, don’t we all?
We’re all imperfect and
that’s what makes us human.
Last year was a tough year for us,
as we had to bid farewell
to Aunt SC and Uncle W.
And I could imagine you
standing there at heaven’s gate
waiting to greet them
with open arms.
I know how fond you were
of your sister, SC and
that you were close to her
when you were both younger.
But then, we sometimes
drift apart through the years
due to many reasons.
I remember mom once said
that you had wanted to write
a book about your life.
I wish you had done so.
The truth and the many things
left unsaid would have helped
fit all the missing pieces
of the puzzle together.
But that’s okay, Dad.
I’m slowly gathering
all the missing pieces and
getting a clearer view
of the whole picture.
I miss you, dad.
I miss your smile and
I miss your warm humour.
Have a blessed day in heaven, Dad!
Always in my heart,
❤️Pat
Happy birthday in heaven, Dad ◟(◔ั₀◔ั )◞ ༘❤️
Hello again Dad…
You may be gone for 20 years now, but your spirit is still with us.
There is so much I want to tell you, Dad and so much I want to hear from you.
But today, on your special day I simply want to wish you a happy birthday in heaven! ◟(◔ั₀◔ั )◞ ༘❤️
Special mail to heaven!
Hi there, Dad
Today marks 19 years since you left. Thinking of you with love as I reflect how much we do have in common, though I look more like mom.
We both love….
~ coffee & tea. When I was young you used to pour the coffee into the saucer cos the coffee was too hot. Oh, how I loved to drink from the saucer then.
~ snacks. We love to snack while watching the television.
~ music. We love Elvis Presley and we both love to sing.
~ animals. Thank you for all the pets you had brought home. I had dogs, bunnies, cats, fishes, tortoise though mom was not that enthusiastic then about having pets at home.
We were both good drivers and we admire antique and fancy cars. (I still like to drive a manual car).
We have a great sense of humour.
We have a lot of patience. (But I think my patience is wearing thin since the day I got married, Dad. LOL!)
You were not a perfect dad. You made mistakes and you had flaws.
And you had your fair share of trials and tribulations during your life journey here.
But that’s okay, Dad. What’s important is that you were real, you did the best you could and your love was unconditional.
Thank you, Dad for being real and for being you – a simple, humble, kind, honest and generous person.
Much love and hugs, Pat
Happy Birthday in heaven, Dad!
“Sending birthday blessings to you in heaven, Dad.
You’re remembered today with love and warm thoughts.”

Remembering dad on his 85th birthday
Dear Dad,
I’m sending birthday wishes to you today
all the way up to the sky.
And reminiscing the simple things
you enjoyed or made you glad like
… a cup of tea in the afternoon
… reading
(You loved to read both English and Chinese books. And I remember returning some books to the rental shop after your passing)
.
.. singing church hymns
(You were still singing to the gospel songs in the car even at the final stage of cancer)
… making chapati
(Indian flat bread)
.
.. bringing home a new puppy.
… lending a helping hand to friend or stranger
Happy 85th Birthday, Dad!
Much love …
