Uncle passed away last Thursday... So for the weekend i was at his funeral.

It was a Buddhist funeral; not something he would've wanted, but i suppose it's more for the rest of my family, who aside my mom and another uncle, are all buddhists... i dunno.. for now, anything to put my family at peace...

As to what rightd might he have wanted... it is my hope that he's actually a Christian... he knew so much more about the gospel than any other religion that it's my hope that at his last breath, he called upon God through JEsus Christ.

Interesting fact: During the funeral, i didnt only notice the relatives and friends that come from afar, but i also noticed:

1. The patients and staff and colleagues: They all loved him... He was the most caring boss/doctor/colleague in the faculty. So much so, that almost ALL of them were crying and tearing away when he was being brought from the house to the hearse.

2. The CHURCH MEMBERS... i just discovered that 30% of the student i used to teach in FBC were taken car of by my uncle! small world eh? and, and... they all thought he was christian. Not on his testimony, but in his conduct. How he acknowledges the prayers made by Christians before they're wheeled in for delivery, how he had a giving heart. So many of the patients there too were tearing.

I'm still in shock that my uncle is now gone, but i'm now more concerned about my cousins... they're old enough to accept death, but they're still too young to have their dad taken away from them. Please pray for them. Three of  them: Ger(17), Kev(15) and Dax(13).

I'm also keeping in mind of my mom... she and her brother were very close, and to have her lose such a loved one is very painful on everyone, let alone mom. Do pray for her too.

Sa-Ku (Third uncle), you were the glue that stuck the entire family together, you were the role-model of all of us. We pray for you, that we can see you behind the gates to heaven. We love you.
