Until We Meet Again ...

At a time when we should be enjoying the fruits of our labour, my cousin John passed away suddenly on the 10th of March 2009 at the age of 53.  Having had the toes of his right foot amputated (diabetic) one after another and making it thru' all the operations, it was a great loss for us all. We grew up though not quite so close, (meeting during Christmas and Chinese New Year or when occasions call) we had our fair share of good times together. He had a laughter that was contagious and always a smile for everyone he sees! Even when he's deep in thoughts with a frown between his brows, the very minute his eyes fall upon you, the dazzling smile (like in the toothpaste advertisement) never fails to appear.  I remember clearly last Chinese New Year how you enjoyed the sausage rolls I made for the CNY celebration at my mums' place and how you said you used to go out of the way to Katong to buy them. I'm very glad to have been able to make it for you to enjoy! Dear cousin John, in your own special way, you've touched all of us and we're all gonna miss you very much!! 'Til we meet again ... Eternal Rest Grant Unto John O Lord - Let Perpetual Light Shine Upon Him - May He Rest In Peace AMEN!
