His First Christmas


Searched many places for an appropriate size xmas stocking, but had no luck... the stockings are all those big long ones, some 50-60cm long, too big. Was going to just make do with the santa and reindeer hanging ornaments, until the Saturday before Christmas, I finally found the perfect size xmas stocking for Dopey!

Look, Sweet, do you like your green little xmas stocking?


Saturday 22 Dec was also 49 days of his passing, a significant day according to Chinese customs. The whole family went down early morning. Since Christmas was near, got him a slice of swissroll, and placed the marzipan santa & xmas tree figurine I saved from an office log cake, added red & green jellies (xmas colors!) and candy canes, and viola, lovely xmas party food. Not forgetting a baby-sized malt soy drink.

Merry 1st Christmas, Sweet.

I know you've been a good boy... in fact you've been the most awesome, fabulous, wonderful, lovely, amazing, fantastic little boy. Love you lots. Remember the Christmas songs mummy sang you?

Dear Ming Hsien & Russ

I haven't been following your blog for sometime hence the delay in sharing this beautiful poem, which I read during Christmas, with you.

Eternity of Light: This wonderful poem was written by Izabella Worboys, a staff of Springvale Bontanical Cemetery, Melbourne, Australia.

"It's all about the children telling their parents they're fine in heaven."
===============================

I'm a star, blinking at you from afar,
You know my name that you gave me when I came.
Though I basked in your love,
For nowhere near long enough,
I floated away, being very brave to eternity of light.
Yur love gave me the strength
To shine as bright as I can,
For you to see me each night,
And to never lose sight of our love and bond,
So on this special night of Christmas delight,
Be joyous my loved ones,
Cherish my spirit as it will never die,
Merry Christmas(a belated one), from my friends and I.

May you find comfort in knowing Ethan Jay En is smiling to you from above..

God Bless & Love from
