Dear Samantha,
How’s are you feeling today? It’s your birthday! Are the angels celebrating it with you? Do be patient with Jeremy and play with him always.
Jonathan kor kor was asking how would both of you look like now. If you have chance to talk to Jesus, do help to ask Him to show kor kor. Kor kor miss you very much.
Happy Birthday Samatha.
From Jonathan Kor kor, Mommy and Daddy.
My sweet girl Samantha,
You had left us for 2 years. The first year without you was tough. Daddy and mommy were struggling with God to understand and overcome your passing. By the grace of God, we managed to revive from thissad episode.
Daddy and mommy then thought that by having a new addition in the family would help to cure our wounded heart and fill the emptiness in our heart. Jonathan kor kor also has been longing for a sibling to play with. We can see that he is such a loving and caring brother. Saying all these, still God has His own plan. Once again, God took our baby away. Baby Jeremy was born premature and only live for 8 days. No one knows why God took him away. It’s a mystery. At this moment we do not know if we can breakthrough this sorrow.
Daddy, mommy and Jonathan kor kor will always remember both you and baby Jeremy in our heart. Please help us to love and care for Jeremy which we couldn’t during his short time on earth. We know you will be a good sister.
Missing both of you dearly.
We celebrated Jonathan’s 4th birthday in school today. While Jonathan was giving out the party pack to his friends, his teacher reminded them to share with their brothers and sisters at home. Later that night, I had a conversation with Jonathan that goes like this…
Me: Jonathan, teacher say must share the party pack with who?
Jon: With our brother and sister.
Me: Do you have a brother or sister?
Jon: I don’t have.
Me: Are you sure?
Jon: Ermm…I have a sister. But she died already wor.
Last year, we celebrated Jonathan’s 3rd birthday on the same date as well…10 October. His actual birthday is 8 October. By God’s grace, Samantha was able to celebrate Jonathan’s 3rd birthday together with us. Samantha was just 6 months at that time. I wonder how she would look like by now. If she is still around, I think she will be as excited as her kor-kor when she sees Jonathan’s football cake. We probably would need to guard her from damaging the cake with her fingers. 😛
Here are some snapshots of the event with Samantha.
Missing you lots, sweetie!

Indeed God loves her more than we do. Thank you all for your prayers. She is now in God’s good hand. No more pain, no more sickness and no more fear but joy and peace of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Samantha…Daddy, Mommy & Jonathan kor-kor loves you.
You will be missed dearly… See you again in Heaven.
A Little Uncomfortable
Little one, the healing is in progress,
Take heed that we’re here for you,
A little bitter sweet the medicine maybe,
It is for you to grow strong and mighty.
Little one, keeps fighting on,
No other joy is greater than to see you grow,
Let not your body be your limit,
Let your will be the driver of your life.
Little one, mummy and daddy will always be here,
Keeping you comfortable at all time,
These hands will do whatever it takes to keep you going,
In God we have faith that He will carry you through.
Little one, be strong and get well soon.
A poem for our Little one,
Mummy and Daddy
