Indelibly written on my natural inner Facebook was

about “Ling” (we’re “Ling” to each other) who lived with me

in sickness and in health. We enjoyed life together with her

girl helpers in her small home business and caring for our

growing children. She breathed her last by my side. After

about 3 years, added on my Facebook was Mig (our code

name/password) who, like her predecessor, stayed with me

“24/7 through thick and thin” (so to speak). In talking to

acquaintances, she was asked sheepishly, “your father?”

(referring to me). “No, my husband”, she replied. “Oh! And

how many kids have you?, “5”, was her short reply. That’s

how she regard our children. We contentedly lived together,

through laughters, and tears.

Our children: Eric, Jack, Kem, Mark and Noel (in

alphabetical order) collectively, are my trophy from God, for

raising them healthy, obedient kids that made them

responsive responsible family persons as they are. Father

God, thank you for my having had them with Ling and Mig,

in my term on earth!

To everyone here in this event, and to all absentee

mourners, thank you for your kind words, condolences and

empathy!

Mig, I leave with you our 5 children:

Eric, Kem, Jack, Mark, Noel – I hold you responsible to

your younger mother (your age and childless, anyway) who

cares for you.

Good night! See you all in the morning!
