Losses

Received news 2 weeks ago that Albert's father has passed away. Went for the wake held at Singapore Casket. Stayed with Jan and family for about 6 hours, just hoping to be of some help there or just stay with Jan to accompany her.

Jan has shared a touching part of his father-n-law's findings which made me a bit emotional. Shall not documented down in respect of the family.




Received another shocking news of my colleague, Clara's only child who died in a car crush in US last week. I could not believe it when someone told me. I kept verifying the name and just wondered how this could have happened. It must be devastating for the couple !

CK, Huey Shan and myself went to the wake yesterday and the moment we reached there, Clara came over and gave the ladies a hug. I have never seen Clara in such a vulnerable state.

We went over to the alter to pay respect. It was at this moment where I could not contain my tears. It was so sad to hear Clara "informing" to his son that 2 jie jie and 1 gou gou (yes, he was only 21 this year) were here to see him ....Clara told me that their only consolation was that RSAF has granted their son the Certificate of a full-pledged Pilot. In a way, his son's dream of being a Pilot was fulfilled. Sigh...

I was glad that Clara has already sorted out her thoughts that she wanted to come back to work soon. She did not want to just stay at home alone and think too much. Couldn't agreed more with her, she needed people to be around her.

No words could ever comfort the couple's loss of a good, promising and only son. May God bless them the strength and faith to go on with life.
