thank you & shared wisdom

The last two and a half weeks have been a whirl wind of love and endless encouragement from so many people. So many showered me with their genuine care and love.

People, it does lessen the pain. Maybe I don't show it enough or say it enough, your support help a lot. I thank you. Justin also would feel warm the bones to know that many were touched by him and many care for us.

Thank you bloggers for your kind words on the blog -

Sheahnee, Michelle, SeeMing, Wei Li, Jing Mi, Win-Ni, Ke-Wynn, Goddess, Cindy.

And all my close tight family of friends, my sister, my parents, and His family showered so much care...you make me want to do better for his sake, my sake and your sake.

I like to share a few poems and sayings that were sent to me the last 18 days:

from Susheela

(native american verse)

Do not stand by my grave and weep,

For I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am the thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond’s glint on the snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn’s rain. I

n the soft hush of the morning light,

I am the swift bird in flight.

Do not stand by my grave and cry,

For I am not there,

I did not die.

from Hsien & Elvira..

"Some days there won't be a song in your heart. Sing anyway." - Emory Austin.

from Ann Tan..

"There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope."

George Eliot

from TP...

This body is not me.
I am not limited by this body.
I am life without boundaries.
I have never been born,
and I have never died.
Look at the ocean and the sky filled with stars, manifestations from my wondrous true mind.

Since before time, I have been free.

Birth and death are only doors through which we pass, sacred thresholds on our journey.

Birth and death are a game of hide- and seek.

So laugh with me,
hold my hand,
let us say good-bye,

say good-bye, to meet again soon.

We meet today.
We will meet again tomorrow.

We will meet at the source every moment.

We meet each other in all forms of life.

~By Thich Nhat Hanh, Chanting and Recitations from Plum Village.

from Sandee...

"There is no security in life, only opportunity." ~Mark Twain.

from Chelsia...

"They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies." -William Penn

from Karen...

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person..
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a
need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with
guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire
fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.



Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has
come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.




LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons,
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson,
love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other
relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.



Thank you for being a part of my life,
whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
