How time flies..its been two years since dad's passing...how we all miss him especially mum. we all do in our own way, to each his own. We had a reunion of sorts last weekend in JB to commemorate his passing. All five of us and our families with mum went back home to be together and visit dad's grave. It's located in Ulu Tiram and is in a quiet and nice area. we visited on early Sunday morning, bringing flowers and saying a decade of the rosary together lead my my daughter Jenny, saying some prayers in our own way quietly, then leaving after lighting candles on the grave. It's actually a beautiful grave site and is maintained all year round, not alike the older versions of cemeteries of long ago..n0w we have exotic names such as Nirvana, Fairyland etc. It's clean and easy to get to. Unlike the graves of our grandparents and loved ones still buried at older grave sites.
Though it was a short visit home, the family was together. At least for a few days, we forgot about ourselves, our work, our own personal loves to make way for family. I think mum was happy to see us all together again after the CNY. Of course we still missed Julia my sister, she lives in London, but she'll be home at the end of the year so we will be one big happy family again. Our next visit would be during All Souls Day in November. Till then, we will keep dad in our hearts and our prayers always.
