I will make this as short as it is meaningful, or at least I'll try.
The feelings of sorrow continue to haunt me like an ever persistent yet annoying paparazzi, they just linger and don't come any closer to fading away. I've cried a million tears, who hasn't? As they say, tears are words the heart cannot express. *sighs* I've had a few sleepless nights just pondering about the tragedy that took place in the Wee household. I may not have known the whole family personally but I did know one of them. The one that was truly a blessing, he was the blessing itself.
Joash Wee, just saying his name makes me take a ride on the Emotional Express. Joash was more than my CF leader, he was a friend. A friend that treasured the friendships that he created with others, I just count myself one of those fortunate ones. Joash and a few of his family members were taken from us on 17th June 2010. Who knew a tanker would crash into their MPV, killing 5 of them? No one could ever predict such a fate. No one would've ever thought they'd lose Joash at the tender age of 23. A scholarship student/a tennis player/a guitarist/a man of God/an amazing boyfriend/a true friend/a blessing.
I personally still find it hard to believe simply because it is incredibly simple to be in denial, I still have his handphone number/facebook/email. To me, it just feels that I'm on holiday and when I get back to college, back to CF, I'll see Joash once more. Woe is me, indeed. I will cope though, fret not. He is in Heaven, enjoying it up there and blessing many many more as he has blessed us.
Nevertheless, Joash has led a fulfilling life, one that has left an irreplaceable mark on each of our hearts for always. He has fought the good fight, ran the race and definitely came in first. You will live on in our hearts and memories, Joash. So, this is goodbye for now but we'll remember you, we'll miss you no doubt. We can't wait to see you again one day, and that 100 watt smile of yours that everyone loves.
Rest in Heaven, my friend
Joash Wee Ren Qian
