A Mom and More

In pain, suffering and grief, we oftentimes find added strength; the capacity to grow, to seize fleeting moments with loved ones, and to value life. In the process of healing and recovery, we become better persons than we used to be. Dad’s unexpected death gave me and my siblings a sad but meaningful experience, filled with lifetime lessons which we continue to put to use through this day.

It was seventeen years ago (4 August 1990) since dad died. And, we have successfully moved on as a closely knit, happy, and loving family together — through good and tough times. I am sure dad is proud to have left a part of himself in us just as we have now come to realize that the Lord gave him to us as our dad for a special reason according to His masterplan.
