A Year Has Gone By Since Bonny Left..., But The Colours, Music & Fragrance He Brought into My Life Remain…

A year has gone by so quickly since Bonny left his earthly home for his glorious eternal home, but the colours, music and fragrance he has brought into my life remain so very real and vivid, filling my every moment with sweetness, adding strength to my every step. The many expressions of my beloved Bonny are still very much alive and near in my heart...
Bonny has indeed added so much colours in my life--his cheerful smiles, his funny faces, his adorable cute actions, gestures and dances; so much music to my ears--his timely encouragements and advices, his funny authentic jokes, his spontaneous songs with his guitar, his self-invent Cantonese that made no sense and his random drum beats as he had jam session in church; so much fragrance in my heart--his love, compassion, kindness, generosity, simplicy, joy and hope.
He is a man with a simple and pure heart, a man filled with love and kindness, a man full of fun and humor, a man with a mighty warring intercessory spirit!
His legacy of love, fun, simplicity and intercession lives on in my and many others' lives. My heart is filled with thanksgiving to God for blessing me with Bonny eventhough it was a short 15 years. I praise God for the many blessings I have experienced just by knowing and living with him while he was here.
My beloved is and will always be fondly remembered as a man of child-like faith, joyful hope, and compassionate love, whose story of personal transformation and quiet confidence in the Lord Jesus is an inspiration to us all!
Someday I hope to meet him, someday I know not when, to see him, to hear him, to smell him and to clasp his hand in that better land, never to part again!
Indeed, "Death hold no bitterness for the soul that loves.... There is no sadness in the thought of death when it opens the door to all joy. Nor can it be painful and oppressive when it is the end of all unhappiness and sorrow and the beginning of all good"-John of the Cross-
