Somehow I can't fight the tears, the pain.
Somehow every funeral seems to put my life back into perspective.
Thought about many things this week. Things that mattered and things that never should have. The way I've been living, and the way I ought to live. The things that have been occupying my mind, my thoughts, my time. Many things have lost its significance an others have regained theirs. Its so true that God uses the situations in our lives to bring us closer to Him. But most importantly, He's made me see why He ought to be first in our lives. Only He can be by our side 24/7. He cares the most. Only He knows our innermost fears and can help us overcome with His love. Only the holy spirit can comfort and bring peace. He is the only one who will never disappoint. He has been so so dependable.
But I thank God for sending friends who stood by my family, kept us in prayer and came down to the wake thru the week. It meant alot to me, even the littlelest things. Maybe cos I've learnt to treasure those around me more? But really thank God for my uni friends, they've been so understanding. My English and Geog project mates especially, thanks girls. And and shiduan, who offered to lend me notes for the lectures I've missed. That was really so sweet of you dear. Wenyenny and junsong for accompanying me for break and hearing me rant. And sylvia I haven't seen you for weeks. ): Jamie, ben, gladys and cheryl, for offering me your listening ears. Dot, thanks for smsing us everyday to give your support and for praying even thou you're having your prelims.. Really, you are such an epitome of true friendship and I just can't thank God more that I have you in my life. I heart you (:
What really hit me was the thot that that fateful day when he woke up, he wasn't aware of how he was gonna end the day. Or rather, he wasn't aware tt it was his last day on this earth. Who knows but the Father? But I believe, that God's work on Uncle Richard's life, "its finished". He has fought the good fight and finished the race well. I'm really grateful to God that he came back to God. We're gonna miss him alot for sure. We already do, but yea. Thank God we can cry and say goodbye with hope. Because I know in my heart, I'm gonna see my uncle Richard one day again.
He was always smiling and caring for others. He was and will always be my uncle.
