my uncle who had been in nuh icu finally breathed his last this afternoon after 3 to 4 weeks of struggling to stay alive. he was such a good man we all know at this point God loves him so much that He took him away. it’s not going to be the same without him. i think that his influence on people is vast and his absence will be greatly felt.. but most importantly, he would be remembered for his kindness, optimistic attitude, thoughtfulness, humour and warmth… he’s the best uncle i’ve ever had and i look up to him as a role model – he was such a loving father and responsible family man. he went beyond his duties to help other people who were in need. he was always so thoughtful, warm and funny.. we all look forward to hari raya because we’ll spend hours at his place and he would be playing the videos from the previous hari raya.. and he would organize a hari raya poem competition where each family was suppposed to come up with a poem and recite it in front of the camera.. we would make funny poems and he would play the video recordings of the other families’ on the tv to see whose poem was best..
i’m really upset.. i don’t think he knew how much influence he has on me.. and how much i looked up to him.. he is definitely the best uncle .. his words are always kind and encouraging. he never failed to make me feel good about myself ..
my worry now is whether my aunt and cousin can cope without him. i pity my aunt cos right now all her children are still schooling.. and she’s the only one bringing the money home. i hope things will be fine and that they’ll get through this difficult period.
thank you pak cik usop for all the kindness you’ve shown me. thank you for your encouragement and thank you for believing in me. i will never forget you.
