Life is like a Book

Life is like a book, we are walking through the pages. - Soon Beng

And I asked you at the hospital and at your wake, why did yours end at Pg 32?

Whenever I was lost, stressed, heartbroken or upset, you told me it's all pre-planned. Life is like a book, destiny, fate and do we have a choice in life?

I am going through your pages now... keeping records of all 32 pages from whatever I remember and through people that you have touched and hoping to keep it alive again!

I opened my eyes with fear day after you left! I realised and understand the weight on your shoulders all these years! It's never been easy to be our Brother, our FATHER and a SON to our mother. You have done your part and you did it well. It's time for you to take a break and rest in peace.

I will pen down every word you've said and those I've learned.
(With your selective listening, what can you learn? - Soon Beng)
At least I remember this for life!
