you'll always be in my heart...

Its always sad when someone whom you love leaves you. Beloved gong gong passed away at a good old age of 83. I've known him for almost 4 years. Even though he is not my blood related grandpa, I am much closer to him compared to my own grandpa. Their family have always treated me as one of them, and I've also treated everyone as my own.

Gong Gong was struck down by cancer, but during the first few months, he was still able to walk around and go out. It was till the 5 month that his condition worsen and was eventually bed-ridden. During his confinement on the bed, was glad that I am able to fork out more time to spend time visiting him. The most encouraging was that gong gong had the chance to know God. And before he passed away, I had the opportunities to pray with him mandarin. When I pray with him, he will always grab my hand tightly and squeeze my hand whenever some truths convict him.

Even now that gong gong had left us, I'm glad that we are able to have the assurance that he is back with God. We can rejoice that he has return to his eternal house in heaven. Even though now that he had left us, he will always be in hearts of those whom he loves...

2 Corinthians 5 : 1
Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
