25 April 2009.
I lost a dear friend yesterday.
A friend that I knew since 1989.
But he is more than a friend.
He is like an older brother.
My teacher.
My "uncle agony".

I went to say goodbye to him today.
I will miss him.
Miss telling him my troubles.
Miss crying before him and not worrying that I will be laughed at.
Miss making him laugh with my silliness.

But I know he is in a better place.
Where he can run, jump, walk and even roll.
Where there is no more pain.
No more discomfort.



A special song in loving memory of a very dear friend - Stanley Woo

AMAZING GRACE/MY CHAINS ARE GONE

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail
And mortal life shall cease
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine
