Today was supposed to be a normal Sunday. Mass, family lunch, rt and finally GI Joe. But just as mass ending, my Dad got a call. He don't usually pick up calls during mass cause that is really inappropriate but it was really an important call. Uncle David is dead at a tender age of 52. The news caught me at a time when I was to be enjoying my last week of holiday! And for the first time in my life, I'm really found myself at a loss. Uncle David was one of the man I had looked up to as a kid! He was a really nice and gentle man who was always there for me. He was always at my place for visits and CNY. And a large of my nice childhood memories were him giving me toys like my first drum set, my first motor boat and my first stuff toy! This list of deeds he did for me can go on and on and on but I just want to let you guys know how much of a freaking IMPACT this man had on this kid. I'm supposed to be heading a walk with my NUS friends tomorrow and I really dont know how I am supposed to go about smiling tomorrow but I will try to keep my lame game tomorrow. Gabriel, if you ever read this, please nudge me everytime I seem down or seem like Im not there! I have never been strong but I need to be strong not just for myself but for all my freshies and for all the people I really intend to journey with next sem! Peace out guys!
