Another Loved one... Went to the Lord...

I just received news that my Childhood friend, Josiah, his Dad, passed away...

I heard the news after I have ended work. I spoke to Junjie as he gave a miss call so I called back. He immediately told me that he heard from Annie, that Josiah's Dad passed away. I was shocked.

I immediately called my parents to ask if they have heard any thing about Josiah's Dad. They said they have not received news.

Mom: Why?
Me: Just now one of my friends called to say that His Dad passed on.
Mom: Really? Ok I'll give Florence(Josiah's Mom) a call.
Me: Ya please do. I'm really concerned.

And i meant it. I was rather lost in thought, in fact my mind was a total blank as I went home. I wanted to hear the news. That it was a fake. But in the end. It was true... Jason, Uncle Jason, was gone.

It was news that was a SHOCK to my family. We just saw him this CHINESE NEW YEAR! He was healthy! I mean we visited his house, he was a LIVING TESTIMONY! He had went through tough days of battle against his health and he has always been faithful to God even through his trials. He even said "Praise God, that I am healed." He was a man full of faith and full of gusto. Despite what he went through, even though he was skinny to the bone, he still praise God.

A huge inspiration. A uncle I never had. I mean, Josiah and I were CHILDHOOD Buddies. Sometimes, I just had a wake up call. This is the time in my life, where more people I love, will start to vanish. All the more, I should treasure them. All the more I should spend time with the friends I lost and I want to get them back to God.

One things for sure, I may grief over him. Grief over the Chua family plight, but ultimately ONE THING I am sure of... Jason, has Gone to Heaven.

I can't say anymore. Its been a rough day.
