A long-overdue thank-you note :)

As I was browsing through the older posts in my blog, I noticed that my last thank-you note was written almost two years ago. I forgot to be thankful, especially during a time like this when nothing seems right anymore. So here I am, trying to write a thank-you note despite everything that has been happening lately. Here we go...

My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
God, I'm sorry if I have loved her more than I love You. I still remember my first prayer to You about her: "If she is the one for me, let it be so. If not, please take her away." It's all crystal-clear now. Although this might not be what I want, I still thank You for the strength to go through this difficult time. Thank you, Father.

Papah and Mamah
Thank you for taking care of me, especially as I spent my holiday with both of you this year. I'm sorry for those times when I hurt you with my words. If only I had listened to mom's advice, I wouldn't have been this heartbroken right now. So yeah, I couldn't express how grateful I am to be your son. Thank you...

Ema
Thank you grandma, for always listening to my story about her, without judging me or anything. Thank you for the invaluable advice and encouragement. Your presence has been a gift from God, and I'm thankful for that. You may never see this, but I hope you know how much I love you, ma.

Ooh Lilis
From the start, you have always been that special aunt in my life. Thank you for listening as I poured my hearts out to you. Seriously, you are like a role model for me, and the standard you set is so high! Thank you for teaching me the Five Fingers Prayer, too. I can only say thank you, thank you, thank you for your love, although I am not even your own son...

Deiver
Thanks bro, for everything. You have been a great friend, and sometimes even a role model, to me especially since we both moved to Singapore years ago. We might not always talk about everything, but when we do, it really gives me the strength to keep going. Thanks God for my brother.

Gide, Bijei, Sunson
Thank you guys, for always being there for me in my high and low. This may sound gay, but I love all of you. I wouldn't have been able to survive heartbreaks in the past, and definitely not this time, if not for you all. Thank you.

Josephine
Thanks Pin, for always being the listening ear when others are too tired with my sad stories. Thank you for all the words of encouragement when I was feeling down. Thank you for letting me see things from the girls' perspectives. Thank you for reminding me to count on God in everything. Thank you.

Pauline
Thank you for being one of the few girls I can be really close to. Although we may not talk as often as we used to, now that you are in Melbourne, I want you to know how thankful I am for all the stories and the good times we shared. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Kezia
Don't judge me because I include her name here, although we barely know each other. Just wanna thank you for all the writings in your blog. You have no idea how much they have helped me through the hard times. Continue to be stronger in Him, and be a blessing to more people, just like how you have been to me.

Others, so many that I can't write all your names here
Miss Grace Kwee, Freddy GS, Liauw, Adit, Metew, Ooh Leina, and many more. Thank you for being part of my life, each of you adding colours into it. Thank you.
