“The trouble is,
you think you
have time.”
~ Buddha
Never in a million years did we think
We’d be facing Christmas without you.
You were just there, always, and forever.
And yes, we thought we had it all.
All the time in the world, together.
To keep on keeping on, as a family.
“The trouble is, you think you have time”
The unmentionable never happens.
To you. To us. To our lives.
And when something comes along,
Like an out-of-control juggernaut,
Your plans are wiped out in an instant.
Hopes and dreams just disappear.
All that is left are the memories.
And memories mean everything now.
Here you are with the Laughing Buddha
Along with Dad and your brother.
Singapore, 1992, Haw Par Villa.
Such simple, carefree, happy times.
Would that Buddha was smiling on you,
And had spared you from all the pain.
We wish we had more time with you.
We wish we didn’t have to let go.
We wish you were with us still.
Love you sweetie.
Beloved Angel son.
Now in heaven.
My precious one.

Strange how such a tragic event in Life always seem to remind us of our own personal fragility….As the Buddha says……we think we have time….Most if not all people errs in believing they are ‘in charge’. 🙄 Hugs! ❤

Thank you for caring.
We were so very lucky to be able to travel around the world.
And I’m glad I had a camera, took so many photographs, to record these memories.
