This is the day that had been set aside to specially remember fathers, not like we forget them the rest of the other days.

My dad left us roughly 1 year ago. I still do remember my dad very much and still thanking God for giving me such a wonderful dad. Though my dad was not an authoritative dad or those lovey dovey, like some I knew of, I still appreciate the time that he had given me.

Him, giving us his time and in quietness, simply showed us how much he really loved us.

I am still very glad at the way how God took him away. Sudden, but yet so gently and all at the right moment.

Thinking about it and relating this "death" and "passing away" of Mr Rolang Wee, 3 children and mother-in-law....and how the wife responded, I can't help but felt so touched and encouraged. If she can be so calm in situation like this, what's with the passing of my dad?

Everyone will pass away someday...one fine day...in different way, situation and time...but we can rejoice because our Lord Jesus has won over death. Meaning? No one dies...we live even though our body function no more but our spirit continue to live.

I began to ponder over this thing called "LIFE". It is so important for us to know the reason we are living here on Earth. If we live for ourselves, for human, it's going to be a very difficult time to live....but....if we live for God, nothing will be able to stop us from continuing to live for Him, not even "death" in the most tragic situation. Think about it?

In other words...life goes on no matter what!

We can grieve and mourn but let not that have control over our life that we forget to live for God. We don't simply live and survive this life on Earth, we have a mission to accomplish. Ask the Lord what is your mission on Earth.

It's a funeral...yes...but I like what Aunty Chin Loi said, "It's a celebration of life!". Wow! I never thought of that.

Anyway... Blessed Father's Day once again to all fathers in the world!

Blessed Father's Day, dad! We miss you!
