Life sometimes is so unpredictable and so full of coincidences. I just got back from Grandma's house. Went there to pray and sing hymns for
Ye Ye, as today marks the 7th day since he has left the world, and the other is to ironically celebrate my grandmother's birthday. The atmosphere was rather sombre. I know deep down in our hearts, we all still mourn over the death of
Ye Ye. I simply cannot get over the fact that
Ye Ye is gone, gone forever..to heaven...a better place with God, and he won't be coming back anymore. 人死难与复生。
While at gm's, my cousin showed me a letter written by
Ye Ye in 2003, 4 years ago, where he thanked the Lord for allowing him to live for this long, despite having 2 heart bypass surgeries within 18 years. On it, he endearingly signed off as, "Your obedient son." What caught all of us by surprise was the dates in which he had written the letter. At first he wrote 20/7/2003, to which he quickly changed it to 24/7/2003. We guessed that he might have taken a few days to pen down the letter. 20th was the 1st time that he had written the letter. (coincidentally it was the day that he passed away) Afterwhich he finished writing his letter on the 24th, hence the reason for him changing the date. (coincdentally, it was the day that he was cremated) Who would have ever imagined that 4 years later, from the date in which
Ye Ye had 1st written the letter, he would leave us for good. How do you explain this?
Ye Ye had actually predicted his death and cremation dates? Is this God's way of playing a joke on
Ye Ye and us?
Owells, at least now we know he's in the safe hands of the Lord, since he is a staunch catholic - a great believer in God. (: Every morning, i wake up wishing that
Ye Ye's pass on is not true. I still think that this whole episode of losing my beloved grandfather, is nothing but a bad dream. Tell me it is. Tell me so. We miss you terribly,
Ye Ye...we miss you...
