cousin Ann Ann


On Friday we received devastating news from Penang. Our cousin unexpectedly passed away after giving birth to her fourth child. We are all finding this very hard to accept, as it is so sudden and tragic. She was always so jolly and happy-go-lucky.

It all seems so unfair, especially to her young children. But I suppose we must also remember and be happy for the blessing of a healthy and adorable little baby boy. We trust that God has his plans, and everything happens for a reason. Right now though, it is still hard to believe that she is gone.

Aunt Josephine said this; Don't be sad for too long. Life goes on. Be happy for the baby.

Good bye Ann Ann Jie Jie. Rest in peace.

(Ironically, she passed away on St Ann's feast day. Every year, it is a big event in Penang and many people make the pilgrimage there to St. Ann's Church for a big procession. Also, St. Ann is the patron saint of fertility.)
