Who would have thought both of my parents would be gone within 12 months? May 2019 - Mr Honey lost his mom; July 2020 - My Dad passed away; and April 2021 - My Mama was gone. I did wonder sometimes how many bad news can a person take before they go insane? I don’t have an answer because each individual is different and it really depends on how we look at things. Admittedly I do feel hollow from time to time. My Dad is (still is) my motivation and inspiration and my Mama is (still is) my guidance to kindness and care. Not having them in this world is like not having your headlights when you are driving in darkness I guess in a way. As much as I pushed through, sometimes that hollowness is still in the background somewhere. BUT, one thing that keeps me positive and going is - I never forget to switch my perspective to count my blessings. I’m thankful to Mr Honey being mega supportive; I’m thankful to my wonderful and lovely team who I can rely on; and I’m thankful to each and everyone of you. Hey, I got people all over the world with different belief systems sending me lovely messages/ comments, praying or chanting for me. How cool is that? I know I’m a very blessed person because as much as I touch your life in a positive way; you all do the same for me as well. Thank you. One thing, I know it’s difficult to do things when COVID is still around, but do this for me and yourself - if your parents are still around, call them, see them, make the time. We are all busy people and yes time passes by too quickly, but you can prioritise. What’s important might not be urgent; and what’s urgent might not be important. Your parents are important and they might not be urgent. Don’t wait till it’s urgent. Go spend some quality time with them. I am proud to say that I have spent time with them when they were in this world and I’m happy that I have made time to do that. Trust me and thank me later 🤣 Tell me how you spend time with your parents - love to hear all your stories as always. Love you all and I love this photo - my Dad looked a bit shy and my Mama had a wonderful smile. This is how I want to and will remember them.
