We’ve reached the end of a dreadful week…
Everything had been so unreal. Even as I sat across the porch peering at her photograph framed with chrysanthemums, I was half expecting her to turn up, for she was always present when the family gathered. I waited in vain for a sign that indicated this entire incident was all part of an extended bad dream.
In a while, we will all move on and embrace new chapters in our lives. It’ll be somewhat less complete, but life must go on. And it will go on. While she is physically absent, she will be in our hearts always.
I’ve always maintained that our affection for the Departed will not be determined by trivial statistics like the number of days without television, the number of weeks vegetarian food is consumed, or the number of months we prohibit ourselves from putting a smile on our faces.
It’s really how we remember someone that matters the most.
To everyone who’s reading this- in and outside the family- Let’s all have a fulfilling week ahead.
life goes on …
Jia you, cruz! =)
I’m sure u know how to move on yeah!

One life ends, another life continues..

Take Care. Life still goes on.
i agree
Zhi Yong, ur Er-Gu remind me of my grandma who past away 21yrs ago …:( She still lives in my heart & it always WILL …. Brace up & Get Moving
Totally, agree. It’s hard, physically and emotionally. But, you’ve got to stay clear-minded and carry on with your life. She’ll be happier to see you guys carrying on with your life and remembering her rather than hogging on to the past memories.
Take care. You can do it.
Cruz, its hard to accept the dreadful fact. But. life will have to move on. I know its hard, but let the time heal everything. You er gu also doesnt want to see you and your family members like this. While we huai2 nian4 those who left us, we should also cherish everyone that is around you. I know you can do it. PRESS ON!
