Dear friends,
After Ning's memorial ceremony at Samittivej hospital last Wed (June 10), I got a hidden message that Ning's family is still in a fragile and heart-breaking moment. Luckily her mom and dad decided not to join the ceremony cause it's so good that it could make them thinking of her and weeping again.
Good thing I got from this church service is the knowledge from a Christian (Potestant) belief of their lives afer death. They gathered together to celebrate Ning's live on Earth that relieved us from grief. A pastor and Thai translator hosted the event came with flower baskets, slide presentation from SMTV friends, guitar + guitarist and the violet forget-me-not vases. In case you don't know, Ning likes Violet the most.
The pastor was an MC so he started this memorial event with pictures and songs. Family, friends and colleagues' representative came up and shared their good stories of Ning. Definitely, some made me sad but some made me smile. Nui, Ning's sister, was the last and she's the one who could make us laugh. All I know is that Ning is so nice that all the love that she gave is all the love that she got today and forever.
I came back with all good memories of her, thinking to myself that it would be sad if I could not share them with many of us who cannot join, especially friends abroad. That's why I send your this e-mail.
I know it's hard for us to cope with this situation, but it's surely harder for her family and will take a longer time to heal. In a sudden, an idea comes up from this ceremony. I think it would be something to support Ning's family in the long run. They may lost their belove child, but do NOT let them lost us.
Therefore, I brought one application in yahoogroups.com and applied it to make a tribute to A.N. May I invite you all to brush up your picture archives and share us your good memories on Ning so that she will be in our heart forever.
