A Tribute to Closing 2010: In loving memory of...

As the year is closing in a couple more days, I half wished for this year to be over soonest possible so that I can embrace the next one. Don't misquote me, it has been a wonderful year. I met Mr. Perfect during the point of time when I was so convinced perfect was an evasive term. Perhaps to recap, I was once at the singularly most traumatic period of my entire life put together. But hey, I now understood why it was so. I've never felt stronger and more hopeful than now.

2010 is quite something. There were hits and misses in equal units. I have gained and lost someone close to my heart.

There will never be a golden time to let someone know how much you love and respect them so this year was a great reminder. I am done grieving. It's too painful. Since that decision was casted, I chose to celebrate the full life he had led.

And just because I am feeling extra morbid tonight, I wish my loved ones would celebrate my life when the time comes. It'd hurt to know anyone is grieving.

Ever a great man, always a great uncle. Of all the wonderful memories you have left behind, you have touched my life as you have others. I have learned to embrace life as you have. You will always be missed, Uncle Ben.
