Just wanted to say that when I recently read your journals on your mom, I was really touched and moved to tears by the extent of your mom’s love and sacrifice towards you, her beloved son. I can’t imagine how much more you are emotionally affected by her passing. I pray that you will find the soothing comfort of Christ as your tears washes away your grief. In time, you shall meet her again.

Yes, indeed it is the person who bestowed you the silver ring that makes the simple ring priceless. Thanks for sharing your precious find with us.

I found comfort in Christ after Mum’s passing. He will continually be my source of strength. Where I once walked in ignorance and darkness, I now walk knowing that the Light will always be with me. Thank you for your prayers.

Terry,
To others, these notes mean nothing. They are just pieces of scraps. Only you know how to appreciate their intrinsic value. Only you know how precious they are. These are the mementoes that link you to your past and those that give you your present and future. Keep them safe. They are worth more than anything you can ever afford.

peter, this reminds me of the gold ring i’m wearing now, which was given to me by my late father more than 20 years ago. it was a gift for me having passed one of my major exams in school. it was not an expensive ring (less than RM100) but of course i still treasure it.

20 years now… with me gobbling penang’s good food, i seemed to put on weight and the ring sort of become too small for my finger… yet despite that, i still try my best to squeeze in the ring… because it being from my father, i simply must have it with me all the time.

by wearing this ring from my father, i always feel my father was still with me. it serve as a ‘protection’ from my father for me, if you know what i mean.
