Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult things we can go through, so much more if it is a
parent.

My father has touched many people with his kindness, concern, humor and generosity in one way or
another.

He always put others before himself. He will be ever ready to stop even in the torrent rain to help
someone in trouble. Never one to say no if anyone needed help. Always ready with his humor to make
any situation easier to overcome.

God allots us our number of days and calls us home when He wills. Knowing my father, God probably
consulted him before calling him home.

He always told the funniest jokes that makes you laugh till your tummy hurts. His voice, always
consoling and he was such a great listener. Almost all his friends and family shared their problems
with him and he would always say "Leave it to me and don’t worry about it, let me figure out a way
to solve it". Those very words would make us feel like a huge burden was lifted from our hearts.

I remember him being there at school everyday during recess to make sure everything's OK.

He would do a "superman" stunt where he would bend while riding his motorbike so that the wind would
blow against my face and makes you feel like flying.

He taught me how to eat "idli" where I was supposed to mash it with the curry in order to fully
taste it. Afterwards, if there was any curry left I was supposed to fold my fingers towards the
curry and eat it that way. My mom would always threaten to move to another table every time we do
that in public.

My father was also my "bak kut teh" partner. We would hunt for the best joints and would enjoy
eating it together, more so if they have the vinegar pork as well.

He loved tamil songs, and would start singing any time he felt like it. It was so contagious that we
sometimes find ourselves humming to the melody.

He was the one who taught me to drive, and he would press the "invisible brakes" whenever I go too
fast.

A loving father, always ready to give us a hug when we needed it, a smile when we were down and
always there to lend us an encouraging hand.

He has 2 beautiful grandchildren, Tristan (who he calls "baba boy") & Qistina (who he calls "mama
girl"), which are his pride and joy. A smile always comes to my face whenever I see him with them. I
know that he loves them whole-heartedly and they will surely miss him.

He will surely be missed and will forever be in our hearts. Though he has left this earthly life, he
will always be near and dear to us.

A wonderful man filled our hearts, but now is gone...and there is a hole left in the world...

Papa, you have given us a life filled with joy and happiness. You taught us what it means to be a
family and you never stopped loving us till your last breath. It was incredible to grow up having
such a wonderful father. We love you so much and we have already started missing you. No one can
ever replace you. You are the best dad anyone could have.

"So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
That it is only for a while that we must part,
So treasure the memories within your heart."

If I could visit heaven
Even for a day
Maybe for a moment
The pain would go away

I'd put my arms around you
And whisper words so true
That living life without you
Is the hardest thing to do

No matter how I spend our days
No matter what I do
No morning dawns or evening falls
When I don't think of you

The angels sang amazing grace,
The Lord came down and touched your face,
He held your hand and whispered low,
"Come with Me, its time to go".

The gates of heaven opened wide,
The angels lined up side by side,
A special guest was on the way,
The day they took my papa away.

The day God took you in his ams
My world it fell apart
I felt so lonely deep inside
Nothing could mend my broken heart

I wanted you here right by my side
Like I always thought you would be
I never thought God would take you
But He wanted you at peace you see

I know you're happy now
And free from hurt and pain
My loss is
Now heavens gain

I talk to you all the time
And wait for your reply
I sit and listen so hard to hear
So i look up into the sky

I feel the warmth of you near
It gives me such a glow
I know that you are with me
And did'nt really go

Although i cannot see you
We will never truly part
I have you close within me
Right here inside my heart

In tears I saw you sinking,
I watched you fade away,
My heart were almost broken,
You fought so hard to stay,

But when I saw you sleeping,
So peacefully free from pain,
I could not wish you back,
To suffer that again.

It's lonely here without you,
I miss you more each day,
For life is not the same to me,
Since you were called away.

To your resting place I visit,
Place flowers there with care,
But no one knows my heartache,
When I turn and leave you there

I often think of bygone days,
When we were all together,
The family chain is broken now,
But memories will live forever,

To me you have not gone away,
Nor has you travelled far,
Just entered God's eternal home,
And left the gate ajar.

If I had all the world to give,
I'd give it, yes, and more,
To hear your voice, see your smile,
And greet you at the door.

But all I can do,
Is go and tend your grave,
And leave behind tokens of love,
To the best loved one God made.

Though your smile is gone forever,
And your hand I cannot touch,
Still I have so many memories,
Of the one I loved so much.

It’s so strange that those we need
And those we love the best,
Are just the ones God called away
And took them home to rest,

But every time I think of you,
I seem to hear God say,
Have faith and trust my promise
You’ll meet again some day.

We've known lots of pleasure
At times endured pain
We've lived in the sunshine
And walked in the rain

♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥

But now we're separated
And for a time apart
But I am not alone
You're forever in my heart

♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥

Death always seems so sudden
And it is always sure
But what is oft forgotten
It's not without a cure

♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥

There will be times when you miss me
I sort of hope you do
But smile when you think of me
For I'll be waiting for you.

Memories and little prayers,
we are all mourning you,
But we’ll celebrate the short life you led;
we will never forget you.

We know God will look after you,
now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
your legacy will survive.

It was your time, so as we cry,
go forward that extra mile,
You did what you were sent to do,
you made everybody smile.
