Haven’t got the chance to get to know him as a friend.
But he’s a close friend of Eben.

Often, when there’s poly gathering, they will make calls to him, to tease him, to chat with him.

As we know he will still be @ Australia when we holding our wedding, thus we didn’t invite him.
But sweet him still pass a token to us through another friend.

Then in late July, got to know he had colon cancer.
But think its 3rd stage so…

then in Aug/Sept, he got warded to Mt Alvernia Hospice.
Which when i know, somehow know his condition getting bad. :(

Had a friend’s aunt there years back, coz there’s nth much hospital can do,
except there, hoping she can feel better and… passed away feeling better.

Then, yest when i reached home, Eben dear then tell me, he has passed away. :(

A struggle that last… 4-6mths?
Sad, as he was so young only…
Sad, as he had yet manage to complete his degree.
Sad, as he had many more years to go, to do, to achieve.
Sad, for his parents. :(

Though sound bad, but one thing good is… At least the suffering does not last so long?
Thus less the torture, the heartache, the xin-ku-ness for him?

Eben is attending to his funeral now, but i didn’t tag.
As… guess he will prefer to have personal time with his poly mates ba. :(

But, sad for all his friends ard him. :(

Shannon, you will be missed.
And you will always be a close friend to Eben, Amanda, and the rest that’s for sure.

Rest in peace…
