The senior generation of the Son family is now down to two, with my father standing in the middle and my Tua Ko seated right side of my grandma. My Tua Ko had a stroke for many years already and she doesn't know that four of her siblings has been laid to rest.
The untimely passing away of Uncle Kiko is another big blow to our clan as this is the 6th death in three years. This was also one of the causes of my depression last September. The cousins were all kidding that how come every time we meet, its in the funeral parlor.
Uncle Kiko is known as the funny guy in the family. He loves to crack jokes and cheer people up. Though these past few years, we have not much acquaintances but I have good memories of my uncle when I was a kid.
I praise God that he passed away peacefully. I know that he was clear of his salvation; having put his trust in Jesus. I was able to administer rites of praying for him immediately after his passing away in the hospital, and also when he was laid to rest in the Chinese cemetery crematory. He was very peaceful, and I believe though we will miss him very much, God comforts dwells among us.
I thank God for this is some way of God given opportunity to minister to my own family and share the gospel to them.
I pray to our God who is faithful and true to continually being merciful to our clan and give us rest from attending funerals for many years to come. I also pray that the Lord will give me more opportunities to minister to my family members and usher them to the saving knowledge and wonderful life in our Lord Jesus Christ.
