๐Ÿฆ‹ Sending love to my beautiful Aunt๐ŸŒท

Hello again, Aunt Ying
You knowโ€ฆI can still feel your presence whenever I see a butterfly, especially those bright lovely ones.
It was you, isnโ€™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 youโ€™re still near, thinking about us and watching over us. Itโ€™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 didnโ€™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! โค๏ธ

๐Ÿ•ŠDadโ€™s 22nd Anniversary

Hey Dad, itโ€™s me!
Today is your
22nd anniversary.
Iโ€™m 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 wereโ€ฆ.
a warm, kind and
generous soul
resting in
heavenly peace ๐Ÿ•Š

A lovely Sky Vine for my beloved aunt!

๐Ÿ•ŠHello 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 youโ€™re up there
in heaven looking down
at this same flower.
I think itโ€™s a Sky Vine.
Iโ€™m reminded of all
the conversations we had
and thought about
the things that
were left unsaid.
In remembrance
of you today,
I chooseโ€ฆ
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 ๐Ÿ’•

๐ŸŒฟFarewell, Olivia ๐Ÿ•Š

Today, the whole world
is saddened by the
passing of our lovely
Olivia Newton John.
How could we not love
a person like Olivia.
She was beautiful inside out and
she had the most angelic voice.
How could we ever forget
her iconic films like
Grease and Xanadu.
My inner younger self
is absolutely shattered.
I adored Olivia and
she had made my teenage and
young adult life more colorful.
I have great admiration
for her talent and
she had shown such
bravery, courage and strength
in her 30-year long
battle with cancer.
She was a beacon of grace,
love, hope and joy to all.
Rest in glorious peace now,
Dame Olivia.
We honestly love you and
we are hopelessly devoted
to you forever.

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

http://www.newbloggycat.com
Remembering the amazing Dr Seuss with some of his witty, wacky and fun quotes:-
โ€œToday you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.โ€
โ€œFrom there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere.โ€
โ€œJust tell yourself, Duckie, youโ€™re really quite lucky.โ€
โ€œA personโ€™s a person, no matter how small.โ€
โ€œBe who you are and say what you feel because those who mind donโ€™t matter and those who matter donโ€™t mind.โ€
โ€œWe are all a little weird and lifeโ€™s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.โ€
โ€œIโ€™m sorry to say so but, sadly, itโ€™s true that bang-ups and hang-ups can happen to you.โ€
โ€œ I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.โ€œ
โ€œWhy fit in when you were born to stand out.โ€
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
โ€œFrom there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere.โ€
โ€œSometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.โ€
โ€œYouโ€™ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.โ€
โ€œYouโ€™re in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.โ€
โ€œASAP. Whatever that means. It must mean, โ€˜Act swiftly awesome pacyderm!โ€
Adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them.โ€
โ€œYouโ€™re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.โ€
โ€œThink left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!โ€
โ€œDonโ€™t cry because itโ€™s over. Smile because it happened.โ€
โ€œLife is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.โ€
When Shaye was a toddler, she made me read these books over and over again. And I could never skip any pages. She had memorized every page. Lol!
