Today, I mark the 25th year of my dadβs absence. This painting came from a place of remembrance, love, and a quiet cup of tea shared across time.π€
Tea with you, Dad

Hello again, Aunt Ying
You knowβ¦I can still feel your presence whenever I see a butterfly, especially those bright lovely ones.
It was you, isnβt 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 youβre still near, thinking about us and watching over us. Itβs 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 didnβt 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! β€οΈ

πDadβs 22nd Anniversary
Hey Dad, itβs me!
Today is your
22nd anniversary.
Iβm reminded that
your greatness was
not in what you have
but in what you give
without expecting
anything in return.
And today,
I will remember you
for who you wereβ¦.
a warm, kind and
generous soul
resting in
heavenly peace π
A lovely Sky Vine for my beloved aunt!
πHello 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 youβre up there
in heaven looking down
at this same flower.
I think itβs a Sky Vine.
Iβm reminded of all
the conversations we had
and thought about
the things that
were left unsaid.
In remembrance
of you today,
I chooseβ¦
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 π
