A Special Day -- 16 Dec...

This would have been our 25 Anniversary today.   There is a calendar reminder that was set at our 9th anniversary that has a yearly reminder set a week before 16 Dec every year. 

As before, I went to have a meal at Botanic Garden, a tradition we had if we spent our anniversary in Singapore.   I may be alone remembering it but I am not lonely as the Lord is with me.

The joy is to have wonderful memories to celebrate and be thankful....

The Lord is good to bless me with such a man who had helped to carve out beautiful memories of love and joy.

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."
