Our Last Holiday Together: Royal Caribbean Isles of South East Asia Cruise, 30 Nov-4 Dec 2009


This is the picture taken on the ship "Legend of The Seas" on 1st Dec. 2009, 7.09 pm. It was a trip he was looking forward to. Sea was his favourite landscape. He used to travel a lot on sea when he was young while working as a radio operator in cargo ships. He had once told me that he might consider sailing again when he was old and didn't have a job. When I asked him what would I do if he had gone sailing, he just smiled.
When I scattered his ashes into the sea on the day of his burial, there was a strange sense of peace and joy then as I could feel that his spirit and soul was very pleased. As I watched the ashes dancing in the wind before landed into the sea, I sensed the freedom he felt. I knew then that he was smiling in heaven as his ashes went sailing. The sea is his burial ground and the sea now holds a new meaning to me.
6 months have passed since he left for heaven, I know that he is still smiling today because he knows God is taking care of me and He calls me His beloved.
