Dear Sir: I never read blogs and came across the lovely memorial to your beautiful wife by
accident. Keep going. You will do fine. Your terrible loss will mark you for life…but
eventually it will make you stronger, deeper, more compassionant and able to love more
selflessly…you are already on that path I can see.
Have confidence in your love for your daughter. There are no perfect parents, and though you
both feel the terrible loss of your wife and her mommy, you are strong enough to see each
other through, or to lean on God together when you need too. The God of the Bible promises
that He has good for us even in difficulty. Ask moms you admire for advice when you need to.
And don’t be ashamed to protect her in a world that sometimes does not know where it’s children
are…know where she is all the time,know every friend and every adult you trust her into the
care of…that was our rule…and now with two grown (and one nearly grown) kids, we’re not sorry we did that.
Blessings, Michele Hay

Bong! I just pass by, and just read… little ’cause I feel your writing is too move. If I go more, I think I will cry. So its better I just pass by sometimes and see ur family’s happy pics (or because my english is too bad :D)
Below is a part of a poem I wrote for myself long long time ago. hihi to make it quite suit with u, I changed something. Hope you will like it. And….. go on.

After the rain, seven-coloured rainbow comes,
Birds start to chirp again,
Trees begin to rustle with wind
People rush to work,
What a wonderful world we have !
Wake up man! Wake up man!
Yesterday is always yesterday,
Leave the past in oblivion, towards the future!
Though the world is not good at all…Please, Wake up!
For a new world tomorrow.
