Mummy's Letter to You

Created by Mummy 11 years ago
14/3/2013 was a very sad day for my family. We lost our only son, Julian Yap Wee Li. He passed away in his sleep because of congenital heart problem-myocardial bridging which did not show any symptom at all. A month has passed, but his passing is still very fresh on our minds. Wee Li, You were such a tall and handsome young man. You were very nice and caring since you were very young. I still can remember one day many years ago when you were only around 4 to 5 years old, I laid down to rest on a sofa in the living hall. You went and took a wet handkerchief and put it on my forehead. You must have thought that mummy was sick at that time. Your kindness and tender care made me so touched at that time. During that time, your grandmother was staying with us and you also showed your kindness and tender care by always massaging her legs with your small hands. You were only with us for 22 years and 5 months before God called you back home. Thinking back, we also did not know if you were subconsciously trying to tell us or let us know that you will not stay long in the human world. You were always telling us that you did not think you would live a long life. You also made known to some of your friends that you will die young. We always brushed it off that you were just talking nonsense. After going into your blog, Facebook and talking to your friends, we realized that you always dreamed of your paradise and colorful rainbow land at the other world. You once told me about some YouTube posting that a parent commented that none of their son’s friends turned up during the his funeral even though the son had more than 200 Facebook friends. Son, we were surprised to receive a lot of calls and SMS when people from all over Malaysia read your obituary. Everybody sympathized with us that you had to leave this world at this young age. Son, we were very proud of you, you have brought us joy and happiness for the past 22 years. We believe that you enjoyed your life with us for the past 22 years. We shall always treasure all the sweet memories we have for the rest of our life. We are very proud of you. Many of your friends turn up to pay their last respect during your funeral. They included your primary school classmates, secondary school classmates, college mates and university mates. Many of them also turned up and give you a grand farewell. You were always so caring and helpful toward people. Some act you did also made them touched and will always remember you. From your friends’ conversation, we got to know you better that you were such a good and caring young man among your peers too. Son, you need to let go and find your own destiny and your own paradise. Always have with you all the sweet and positive memories. No matter where you were now, you are always our son, daddy, mummy and your loving sister shall remember you forever. You are always in our hearts. Love you forever: Mum
