It’s been a while since papa has shared his thoughts with this Blog community. Time and energy have been scarce commodities since we moved home. Papa apologises for the hiatus. Our move back home has been punctuated by a few significant events that have yet to be recorded, namely, the second memorial basketball game in honor of mummy dearest held in September 2007, the significant demise of mummy’s Uncle Yew Wah, Uncle Chris’s and Aunty Anita’s wedding, without a doubt, the nuptial of the year, and last but not least my trip to Australia! Papa will be writing about these events over the next few entries.

The move home has been smooth so far. Routines have re-established themselves, I like my home and we have settled comfortably as far as the physical aspects are concerned. Papa distracts himself with mundane chores and anything else, so as to maintain an even keel with the emotional storms. Many things lie exactly where they were all those years ago when mummy was still around. Papa has not had the heart or strength to move or discard anything for the time being. He senses that a period of passive mourning still needs to work itself out. Renewal will have to take place eventually, just not for now.

We feel your presence mummy, guide us as we journey in search of you.
