It's Been A Year Since You're Gone
Dear Papa,

It's been a year since you left us. How are you holding up? Hope you're enjoying your holidays. I wonder what you are doing right now. Most probably relaxing on your rocking chair, smoking your favourite cigarette, sipping on black coffee. Just like before.
You always liked my coffee. Been a while since I made coffee for you isn't it? How's the coffee like over there? Are they any better than Starbucks?
Things sure felt a little different since you left. For one, we had a really quiet Chinese New Year this year. Mom, Bro and Sis were all overseas at the time. I was the only one who stayed back home.
It certainly felt strange visiting friends and families on my own for the first time. I missed the times when we would wake up really early, eat 'long-life noodles' and do our visiting as a family. There's even one year when we all donned traditional Chinese costumes for CNY, remember? We all look really cute and funny. That was one of the fondest memories I had of Chinese New Year when you're around.
On CNY eve, I had my Reunion Dinner with the cousins instead. Before the dinner, I still called out "Pa, chi. Mi, chi" out of habit. How silly of me! I forgot this year you're not on the table with us.
Hey, our house is gonna going through renovations soon. I saw the drawings and it looks great. Mom has been real stressed out because she doesn't have you around to discuss things. It upsets me sometimes to see her in the state she's in. You know how much Mom misses you. It's been a year and Mom still thinks of you every single day. Well, Mother's Day is coming and I plan to do something special for her.

Sister is moving to New Zealand later this month. Her two beautiful kids are growing up quick. Jayden is really smart and inquisitive, always pestering his mother to teach him new words. Her 17-month-old Kirsten is still learning how to walk. That clumsy little girl is always falling down all over the place, then she'll start crying non-stop. Haha. Sis really has her hands full taking care of those two little monkeys. Poor sis.
As for me, work is going ok. There's a lot of travelling. It's a little stressful at first but I find myself getting into the thick of things already. I just need to manage my time better to take care of many things at once. Don't worry, I'll try my best.
Business is doing well. In fact, it's growing strong and better than ever. But you know how it's like. When you're on top there's always people out there wanting to bring you down. Last week my friend told me he heard people spreading false rumours about you having sold off your business. Haha. What a foolish joke. I can imagine you bent over laughing with us if you're still around. Please forgive them though. It's the small town mentality. They don't know better.
To be honest, we didn't quite feel like you're gone sometimes. Your office is still the same as when you left it. The lights are still switched on, your desk still wiped and cleaned everyday. At times, it feel like you're only gone for a few days travelling and that one day you might come back.

You know, I bump into your friends pretty often these days. They would always speak fondly of you, sharing with me precious memories of you they have. The few of us would chat and laugh happily as we recall the Chinese idioms and analogies you've taught us. I would chuckle and tell them that the first Malay sentence you taught me was "tiap tiap pagi, saya mengosok gigi."
It never fails to amaze me how much detail your friends and colleagues can remember about you, right down to which laksa stall was your favourite and where you used to sit in the coffee shops. That's how deeply you've touched their lives. Words you've said to them so long ago still stay fresh in their mind, as if they've only just talked to you last week.
Ahhh... memories. I remember when I was about 4 or 5, I fell asleep in the car once and you carried me to my bedroom and tucked me in to sleep. I liked that so much I would always pretend to fall asleep in the car, even on a bright sunny afternoon. It continued on for quite a while. Guess at some point I became too heavy, and you'd have to resort to tapping me on my shoulders to wake me up instead.
Anyway, I better stop here now else I might go on forever.
It's been a year since you're gone. Papa, you used to always call me when you're away travelling, asking me if I missed you. I miss you now pa, why didn't you call me? I want to tell you that I miss you a lot, and that you're the best father a boy could ever dream of.
We have fate. And I'm so happy that at one point in our lives, our paths met as father and son.
Until we meet again, pa. :) Take care.
Love,
Your youngest son Kenny

Perhaps reunion dinner will never be the same again. Perhaps life will never be the same again. And the worst thing is...life goes on, whether you like it or not.
At least your memories are beautiful and that is something that stays. :)

Urgh. I had to hold back my tears. And I rarely cry.
I'm supposed to be mugging for a lit paper, and all the way reading this through, a potential question topics kept running through my mind. 'What impressions can you form about the author?' or 'What impressions can you form about the author's dad?' or 'How has the writer's technique induced your feelings?'
Yeah well. If you ever need a pseudo lit essay to enhance the not-so-festive mood, you know who to look for.
But thanks for this inspirational entry. Not many are brave enough to put something like this up. Not something this personal. My prayers are with you and your dad.

Kenny, no words can describe how touching was ur blog....my eyes juz can't hold my tears from falling down...this makes me realize how important to spend a qualitiy time with the one we love coz there wont be a rewind button for us to redo things over again...
Im sure your dad is looking down from HEAVEN with a smiling face for having a wonderful son like u...

dear kenny,
I feel the same way as you do. Only in my case, I lost my dear grandmother to leukemia. Reading your post brings back sweet and bitter memories. Sweet times when we all had good laughter, bitter memories was when seeing her suffer and slowly leaving us. I knoe how it feels like to miss someone and knowing that, you won't be seeing that person in years to come..
I've always tried thinking of her when I sleep at night so that I would dream of her. Silly you might say, or scary but I do that. =)
I hope you will feel better soon. And make sure those sweet memories will always be remembered. I'm sure your dad will be blessing you from above and that he knows his son is doing very well.
=) susan

hey u! i actually cried reading that post. glad to know that u r holding the family close as what ur dad would have done. glad to know that u have been strong for the family.
most probably the only memory i had with your papa was in front of a coffee shop. ur papa was with a contractor, who happens to be my dad's close friend too. he then introduced ur papa and told dad who was ur dad. i immediately blurted out 'uncle, u're kenny sia's father?' - he just smile. i told him perth was small and how we have the same group of friends in perth.
i too can't believe how fast a year have past.
chrisssieeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Kenny, that is a beautiful treasure of a letter. My condolences to you and your family.
Btw, your niece and nephew are beautiful.
You sister should teach them these few very important words:
Uncle Kenny, new shoes, money, Uncle Kenny, need, shopping, new car,Uncle Kenny, and pleeeeeeease.

Dear Kenny,
Please accept my condolences.
Your father must be heartened to be remembered so lovingly by you.
Although I never met him, the remininsces of a filial son paint a picture of a devoted husband and father and a man who was regarded by many with affection and respect.
It is a beautiful thing to see how you, to carry on his legacy, are so devoted to the care of your family, especially your mother.
Yours sincerely,
Michelle

Hi,
You don't know me. I've been reading your stuff from time to time. This post really got to me. My dad died of cancer 7 years back. His birthday was the 3rd of May. Funny how time flies and life goes on. And while you're in the mist of things and you suddenly realize..something's missing..well..i remembered his birthday just 5 mins before the day was over..something I'm not proud of but it happens

a heart touching blog indeed. act, i never felt regret for spending a few minutes everyday to log on to his website and read his blog. sometimes i jz feel lik jz to loiter around since i had nothing to do, but, act his blogs make me feel tat the world is really big. u can't be an encyclopedia which contains wat sort of stories or events u wanna know. keep it up kenny

To Dance With My Father Again
Luther Vandross
Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
How I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way, I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I'm praying for much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved
I know you don't do it usually
But dear Lord she's dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream

Dear Kenny,
This entry is really touching. You are really brave or man enough to post your letter to your dad here. I salute you! You must have great time together with your dad. Unlike me, I am never close with my dad. There is something like a gap between us. However, reading your entry here makes me think about him, and how will I feel when he leave this world..? I really don't know but I think I will try to communicate more with him from now. Thanks for the great sharing. Your dad must be very proud of you. Take care..

Not many will ever truly understand how it feels to lose someone so dear to your heart. It is unfortunate that you have to go through it nevertheless. My prayers go out to you Kenny but let not this affect you too much. I speak for all the readers out there when I say, you trully made some of our darkest, moodiest days lighten up when we read your blogs. Dont ever lose tht gift!

Kenny,
This post made me cry so much,after reading this post my tears never seem to stop,as am now studying in South of NZ and my parents are up north i miss them a lot.This post really makes me think of what will happened when they are gone,i know am not close with my dad,but all that he has done fo emw now really makes me appreciate him more.No doubt this post reminds me of those who are close to my heart,my G'parents included.Since young am really close with my G'parents esp G'ma,all that am afraid now is that she would not be able to see me graduate and be the first girl in the family to do so..I miss her so much that everytime i call her there will be tears in my eyes.
Nice post mate.. nice one..

Pal, its really sad about the incident. Look at the bright way. We have to move on. If u r not a christian, maybe try sometimes go there wif frens. U will find some answers for life. I have been through these, losing friends, relatives..making me really sad. I lost my grandma last year who always stayed with us. Kenny, be strong and move on. God will never forsake us, he will comfort us n lift us on his shoulder. take care.

I am sorry to hear about your father.. I have been reading your blog since June 2005 and somehow I did not read the previous entries and only realised that your father left you a year ago. Please take it easy.. I know its hard to let go of the loved ones but at least he will always be fondly remembered.. Take care.. oh! And I re-read your previous entries and realised that you have been living in Perth for 8 years (if I didn't mis-interpret)?? That really explains your good english and the accent that you have (from your chinese new year video).. =) You rockz!

Dear Kenny, My bf's father passed away when he was in F4. I believe he has gone through the same situation like you. Only he and his father wasn't that close, but however, when he left, he came back somehow in his dream and passed him the message to take care of his family. He is the oldest child, so, he holds lotsa responsibilities. His house still stays the same, with his fathers belonging and all other stuffs. I believe he feels the same way like you too. I think, we learn that we should always appreaciate the ones that we love, so, I will always support him.. situation is different, coz daddy left early, not much guidance in growing up and working. All the best to you Kenny, You are a great man.

ya... it's like an aunty of mine who passed away two years ago. we were too familiar to each other, so i never greeted to her whenever i met her, she would then forced me to call her "aunty"
now, she's gone, and i have no chance to call her aunty anymore, the day before she passed away, i should have been to her house, holding her hands and called her.
it's too late, i regret till now

At the end of every great concert, we leave the hall with memories of the magnificent show and we just want an encore.
Looks like your dad's concert is over...dont be sad...be glad that you went for it and cherish the moment and uphold the memories forever...

I've never left you a comment before although I've been following your blog for a while now- on and off. But this post really made me cry, and I think I just have to tell you that I appreciate your sincerity and openess in all your posts. You're a really good writer. I've laughed out loud plenty of times while reading your blog and have also cried along with you when you were on your down times. I'd like to wish you all the best things in life and I'm sure your dad is very proud to have you for a son. Take care!

this entry is simply touching. Your Dad must be really proud of you. It shows how strong you are as you're coping with it. I don't know whether i can even cope with it when anyone i love leaves. Thanks for the great entry.
All the best!

Kenny, really appreciate your sharing in this post. I find that even though when I spend time with my parents, my heart is not with them. Thanks for reminding me through this post. God Bless!

Dear Kevin, I can't stop sobbing...
My Dad passed away when I was 18. I thought with time, the pain would pass. Time does heal, but never totally. Now, 12 years later, I still cry secretly sometimes when i think of him, and your blog has brought back so many good memories of my own past...
Take heart, I'm sure we'll see our loved-and-lost ones again one day.
Tracy

*teary eyes*
My dad left us in 1998. Can you imagine me receiving the call from home a few mins b4 midnight telling me that my dad met with a "little" accident and asked me to book the next flight home to see him? While still blaming him for not being careful on the road came another call...said my dad passed away? Can you imagine the whole night...the wait at the airport....was crying like i'm invisible? I still cry when i think of my dad sometimes.... I never told him that I love him...though my actions might had. Glad that you are by your mom.

sigh~ this post makes me cry. Makes my heart aches. i never thought one day i will be here and say, 'I understand your pain, Kenny.' My sis passed away abt 2 mths ago.It seems like she had taken a part of me with her.. It had been very difficult for me.. esp when she was only 26. Her passing makes me feel that we had often taken our loved ones for granted. We had taken it for granted tt they will always be by our side.. How i wished i cud just tell my sis again, how much i love and missed her, and i wish i can just hold her hands again.. I smiled when i read the part you asked why your Pa did not call you this time and asked if u missed him.. I myself had often sms my sis and asked if she know i missed her. Eventhough the line had already been terminated.. but it warms my heart to think she might be able to receive my sms wherever she is now. Life goes on.. but i guessed it will take time. But we have to be strong for our loved ones... Kenny, jia you!
