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 💕

🌿Farewell, Olivia 🕊
(www.pinterest.com)
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!
Remembering the amazing Dr Seuss with some of his witty, wacky and fun quotes:-
“Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.”
“From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere.”
“Just tell yourself, Duckie, you’re really quite lucky.”
“A person’s a person, no matter how small.”
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”
“We are all a little weird and life’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.”
“I’m sorry to say so but, sadly, it’s true that bang-ups and hang-ups can happen to you.”
“ 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.“
“Why fit in when you were born to stand out.”
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
“From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere.”
“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”
“You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.”
“You’re in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.”
“ASAP. Whatever that means. It must mean, ‘Act swiftly awesome pacyderm!”
Adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them.”
“You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.”
“Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!”
“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”
“Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.”
💕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

“Even now after 20 years,
the gates of memories
will never close.
And we’ll think of
that tragic day
in silent tears.”
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◔ั )◞ ༘❤️

Remembering my beloved dad
Today marks 20 years since my dad left us.
It’s comforting to know that
when it comes to the love and bond
between a father and his daughter,
there is no expiration date.
And his love and his spirit
will continue to live and linger on,
in my thoughts,
in my heart and
in my life.
