My birthday gift to Bonny many years ago...

March 19 is Bonny's Birthday.  I remember his child-like eagerness to discover what he would be given on his birthday.
This is a crystal eagle that I bought from Tangs and gave to him on one of his birthdays (I can't remember which birthday it was).  The delight on his face was a sight to remember...

It has been ten years....

It has been ten years....

The memory of Bonny (Wilfred) departed for his heavenly home on 5 February 2010, 5.09 pm, still brings pain to my heart. Though it hurts, I am truly thankful for the memories of love and joy this awesome man has brought into my life. He had taught me to let go and let God, he had demonstrated to me what it was like to have a child-like faith. His cheerful smiles, warm hugs and great sense of humour had added so much fun and laughter to my life. I have learnt to enjoy fun and forgive myself when I made a mistake because he had showed me how…

Though it hurts, I know there is no sadness as John of the Cross once wrote, "Death can 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 i the end of all unhappiness and sorrow and the beginning of all good."

Our Anniversary...

I remember my beloved Bonny on this special day, 16 December.  This was the day 24 years ago when we said our vows to one another as we exchanged our wedding rings.  Though we are apart in two different worlds, we shall once again be together when we meet one day...

Remembering Bonny in Alaska

Bought this coaster at Fairbank Alaska as i thought of Bonny.  The polar bear reminded me of Bonny's warmth bear hugs that he gave to many when he was on earth.  The whiteness of the fur reminded me of his child-like authenticity.  He would be thrilled if he as there with me at the Alaska cruise and the land tour watching the aurora at Fairbank.  But again, the lights in heaven must be many fold brilliant and awesome then these aurora.  Above all the presence of the Lord is the most awesome of all.  

Remembering Bonny (Wilfred) at Calgary, Canada.

Walking in the Chinook Shopping Mall at Calgary, Canada this afternoon and came across this shop that captured my eyes and heart because of its name.  Thinking of what Bonny would have done if he were to see this....
He would probably exclaim, "That's my shop!"😊
A wonderful man and never cease to bring smile to me whenever and wherever I remember him.

To help rebuild broken lives...

Despite challenges he faced, Bonny was very proud to serve at Highpoint Community Services from 2007 to 2009, a few months before he was moved to the Glorious Land with the Lord.

Being a broken man before, he counted it a privilege to serve those who experienced brokenness and hopelessness.

Now, I have served for 5 months in the HQ of HCSA Community Services which was re-branded from Highpoint Community Services Association and  my office is in the same building as Bonny's office many many years ago.  Though the office space have been renovated, still I remember the times when I visited him at his office while he was working here....

Wilfred (Bonny) Khalil, an awesome man with a beautiful soul! 
Though nine years have passed, the legacy he left behind continues to impact and influence my decisions and life. 
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for bringing him into my life to enrich and bless me..
