After going through the service for Reuben wake yesterday night, it is just heart-wrenching to see all people cried for him especially his family members. After hearing what his family talk about him, how I really hope to have get to know him in person earlier. 相逢恨晚 .
I actually thought my tears had dried but it was not to be. It's so emotional to get to see Reuben again. I really love his smile and it was just 2 months back since I last saw him. Sigh... I really miss him very very much.
His mom, Patsy, recounts stories of Reu childhood. My heart goes all out to salute this friend of mine. I don't know that he's a genius!!! He got to play piano at the age of 2 without any guidance. At the age of 4, he was discovered to compose song of his own. His mom got so shock at it that she decided to send him to music school to further this talent. Little did she know that both her children(Shimona and Reuben) did not like having musical lesson. But I have to applaud her mom for the way she handles her kid. I think she gives them the space to grow and not to force them unlike most parents nowadays. It's really also amazing for him to hold his mother to shopping at the age of 23. It just put me in shame of what I have done to love my family. But it is just fortunate for me that time is still by my side for repay what I've owe them for raising me up.
His father has got quite a humor. I guess Reuben inherit this trait from his father. As a father, I understand how he feels and how much loves he had for his child. I guessed it will be the same for me if I find that my children is soooo much closer to his wife.
As for Shimona, I really love her voice. it made some of the people so emotional that they broke down crying. Reuben sent me her song a few years ago too. Kinda hard for siblings to send song of their bro/sis to his friend. After listening to her stories and talking to her in person, I really wish I had Reuben as my brother. He's just very very special to go all out to enjoy times with sister. I also laughed at the quarrel Reuben and his sister got involved in.
It really just touch my heart to hear all the stories from his family members of the personal side of Reuben. To me , he's just to humble. When he's the captain of Safsa, he did not tell me. When he went for Mr Singapore, he did not tell me. It is only after a few months that he let it slipped out of his mouth. Just wondering if he scared that I'm too loud-mouth to tell everyone about it. Just that this time, I will never know the answer.
The Kee family is really one close-knitted family and it is really sad that they have lost their only son. And for all of us, a very special friend that will always stay in our heart. Sometimes, I'm just overwhelmed with sadness but maybe like what the pastor said, I am only seeing the small picture.
