New Year that came and went

Chinese New Year 2007, came and went, in a fleeting glance.

....as you always will.

Happy Birthday Dad

Dear Dad - Happy Birthday to you. Thank you for the last lesson you thought me - often then not, the wishes of loved ones are more important than what is apparently logic or rational thoughts. So sorry it costs you time to see the rest of the family. Mum said she dreamt of you recently - you told her you have gone to heaven. God bless you Father. My heart goes out to God to love you and take care of your well being. Remembering you always. Imm

On the 49th Day

Remembering Father

On the 49th day of your death
We prayed that you be reborn in a better place
No more sufferings

Everything you love, I tried to get
Vegetarian prawns, chicken we serve in plates
They're just offerings

You taught us that do not wait till death
Only then show your face
Visit and look after your parents when they're living

I hope we all remember father's saying
If you want to replace
What you could not give to dad
Do it for those in our family who are still living

Happy Father's Day

Dear Dad - today is father's day and although you are not with us, we still think of you. Tears still roll that we cannot have time with you now. We were in Brisbane and the Gold Coast recently and how I wished you could be with us. You loved to travel and would have enjoyed yourself too. My consolation is that Ang did take you and mum around Australia and so you have seen something of this beautiful country where people are really environmentally concious. I tried to think that God has blessed us already by giving us time with you for so many years. You have lived to a ripe old age of 94, more than many, but it still hurts that you are gone. Happy Father's Day! Imm

my winnings for a day

1913 - Nineteen thirteen
many envy in green
you choose me to win
me who is your kin
a starter win to begin?

Thinking of my grandpa

He was a man of few words you could say
I felt I did nothing for him on that very day
I'm sorry grandpa I did not do more
The more I think of it, it hurts all the more
I hope I had spent more time with you before that very day
I just wish you had never gone away

I miss you more than ever

Dear Father, its 42 days since you are gone. I miss you more then ever. I remember the happy times when the family gathers around you. But I also remember the times when I could have taken you out, but didn’t. I only stayed at home with you. How could I not have taken better care of you? I can only remember cooking for you, trying to cook what you like, yet you never ask for anything special. Forgive me papa for my neglect. How strong you always were, to have endured your difficulties, yet ask so little of each one of us. You often say you never want to burden us. Don’t you know papa, that everyone of your children will always do anything for you? I thought you would be here always, never thinking you would go away. Forgive me father for taking you to the hospital and for all the pain I may have caused you. We wanted you to get well, never thought of anything else. I wish I could have taken the pain from you. You are so much a part of my life, and I thought that you would be here with me always. I miss you so very much. Your sacrifices, love and strength binds the family and I think I needed you most. Only remembering your strength, your love for the family can keep me going. I love you father, will always miss you and always hold you in my heart….Chin
