It has been 2.5 months since the passing on of my beloved father.
Dad is constantly on my mind and that of my Mum and Sis.
A recent ad with a storyboard of a single father mending the heels of his one and only teenage daughter reminded me of my Dad mending the heels of both myself and my sis. I couldn't help it, my tears just rolled.
My Dad is not a cobbler. It is an interest that Dad has picked up in recent years.
I have kept all the heels that he has mended for me in the shoes rack. I can't bear to wear them.
Seeing the heels is like seeing Dad trying to mend our heels and happily telling us that "Your heels are fixed!" when we reached home.
I have finally completed my Masters with flying colours. Doing a Master has always being a dream of mine that Dad, Mum and Sis are aware and I have finally graduated. How I wish that Dad is around to see me receiving the certificate though he is aware that I have completed the course.
Whatever it is, I will continue to put the knowledge acquired to good use at work to benefit the patients in whatever small ways I can, and hopefully to pursue my dream of being a social entepreneur! I will 'jia you'! When there's a will, there's a way. This may sound cliche but I believe in it. I believe that Dad will know what I am doing too, and will lend me his support, as always.

I am a nobody to you, but when I first started browsing others' blogs some 2 years ago, yours was one I bookmarked, for no real reason.
Having returned here after a long time, I am sorry to read about what has happened.
I wish you well as you cope with the loss of a beloved one.
Thanks very much for your kind concern and thoughts. I really appreciate it.
I am coping much better now, though health wise needs more improvement.
I am working on a website now to share the experience of taking care of patients who need palliative care. Hopefully it will be ready soon and will be of help to others who need the info.
Keep in touch, and take care :)
