A Tribute
Lim Lye Huat
(28 Aug 1960 - 24 Mar 2007)
Uncle Lye Huat, You've been brave these 14 years, battling against all odds.A good man, uncle, husband, father, colleague and friend.I know you have a lot more things to do and still doesn't wanna give up. That's the reason why you worked to keep your mind out of the possibility of breaking down.These few days during the wake, given the number of friends you had, from primary right up till poly, and the praises our family receive, we were touched right to the bottom of our hearts. This is another reason why some of your SMM colleagues greatly took the initiative to take care of your wake and let us have a good rest last night. We are grateful really. Being by ur side when you took ur last breath and accompanying you through this 5 days is the least we could do, though we cant really give you up.I still dun understand how life could be so cruel. You dun drink, and smoke, yet the analysis could be that of liver cirrosis.Maybe we cannot see things this way. But I cannot accept. Thinking back on the good times we share and looking at ya now in the coffin brings me tears. It's a super huge phase change. A moment ago, you were trying hard to breathe with the help of the ventillator and now, I could not see your chest move. 4th Aunt felt so cheated. The hospital said the op could be done, yet telling her after she has gone through all the suffering of the tests that you were too weak to do the op and everything was called off. It's unfair!I'm so proud of you. Having set up a few companies in UAE. Helped friends clinch millions of dollars projects so as to save their company from bankruptcy. You really have helped many ppl in a way or another. You took care of your workers more than you took care of yourself. Mr Kee, ur best friend had been coming to ur wake everyday to help us entertain ur colleagues and helped us settle stuff in a way or another. They said you have been an extremely good colleague and wanna send ya on ur last journey too. It's very heartwarming hearing that. Though Pa still cannot come to terms that you're gone like that although he says he's prepared for it because he got all emo when he looked at you. Thus, dare not even bring his friends to take a look at you. He's proud to have you as his brother I swear because he tells ur friends that you both have been thorugh thick and thin together in this 46 years of ur life. I'm sure he feels great to have you around. We know you like casino and never fails to say you want a trip up to Genting whenever you're back from the UAE. It's the only time you can get all of ur tgt and yourself to enjoy and relax. But we never thought that the last Genting trip could be so hard on you. I hope they have casino on the other side. But not to worry, because we will still take care of Dominic. We all know he's the one you can't let go of. But he's in safe hands. You're the bestest uncle I have. Every little things you once told me, I'll keep it in my heart forever.I love you.
