A Tribute to my Dad My Mom and Dad at the Sentosa Island, Singapore. A Tribute to my Dad - Loo Soon Aik Romans 10:10 - For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. I lost my Dad due to renal failure just hours ago and
like many who have experienced loss, there isn't much we can do except to relive
the good times and to remember the dear ones in our hearts. Dear Dad, I can still remember vividly, the time when you had to
send me to not one but two schools while Mum fed me lunch and helped changed my
school uniforms in the confine of your Jeep! As the eldest of 6 sons, I am privileged to have the responsibility and the means to provide and to care for my parents ever since I started to earn a living from 1978. The demises of my Dad at around the same time as that of Dr. Goh Keng Swee,
reinforce my conviction that while public adoration is commendable after a
person's death, it is what we have done while the person is still alive that
matters most. On behalf of Mom, your children and grand children, thank you once again for been an important part of our lives. You will always be dearly remembered by us. Your son, Ephesians 6:2-3 state: "Honor your father and mother." This is a very important commandment with a promise: So that it may go well for you, and that you may have a long life on the earth. Indeed, we must feed our parents while they live, mourn for them when they die, and remember them after they died. I thank God for the opportunity to practice this 5th. commandment to the best of my ability and it is my prayer that my children and yours will do likewise. |
