I went to the Amitabha buddhist society yesterday to donate some money to the society in my dad's name, also incidentally they are organising rituals for the deceased on the 30th May so I requested for the same as well.
I am also planning to go for the 3-steps-one-bow ceremony in Kong Meng Temple on next thursday for my dad's good karma.
One of my good friend stayed with me on one of the nights during my dad's wake to provide me with companionship and console, while consoling me, he gave me a great realisation that what is done cannot be undone, and I have to move on, and the only thing I could do is to honour his name in my deeds and my off-springs' deeds.
This gave me a revalation like never before, I knew that dad would want me to do the same as well. That night, in dad's name I sat down with my sis to trash out all the unhappiness, our feelings about dad and our remorse towards him. This was the first time in my life that I had such a long talk with sis and I never regreted pouring out my heart that night. We agreed to be a closer family, she will try her best to visit mom frequently and mom will be our focus of love from now on.
Dad, all in your good name.
