My beloved Dad – My Lost & My Grieve

My Beloved Dad

Today is the last day of the Sukkot 5772 celebration time frame, as well as the fiftieth-fifth day of my grieve for my beloved dad, the late Mr. Ho Wui Tong who return to the Lord on the 25th of August 2011 (25 Av 5771). I have a very funny feeling right now and it may seems rather contradictory but that’s my feeling and I can’t help it.

I am deeply grieved from 22 Aug 2011 to 28 Aug 2011 as my dad got a sudden major heart artery blockage crisis on 22 Aug evening and admitted to Tan Tock Seng Hospital ICU ward 6A on 23 Aug morning. Because of the unethical medical treatment and delay in handling of my dad’s heart attack case at the A&E dept and ICU ward hasten the death of my dad. It was the Wednesday night shift (24 Aug 2011) duty lady doctor in green (registrar) and male doctor in blue (duty M.O.) attending to TTSH ward 6A bed 7 who are unkind to my dad in the sickbed. The lady doctor in green seems to be the assistant of a senior consultant by the name of Dr Ooi at TTSH.

Because of my deep grieve for my dad during the above period that I am unable to concentrate on my Torah study for Parshah Ekev and Re’eh. May HaShem give my dad fair justice because of the ill treatment at TTSH. May HaShem punish the lady doctor in green & the male doctor in blue (darren) working that night at ward 6A bed 7 on 24 Aug evening at TTSH. Amein!

The last time I seen my dad in good perfect health condition was on 22 Aug 2011 6.05pm. We all got shocked that our beloved father just leave us like that. It was so utterly SUDDEN!!! Every one of us missed him very much and I especially missed him a great deal because I have always pray for both my dad and mom for long life and good health 2 times a day daily and also during minchah prayers when I am off. And yet my dad passed away during a minchah prayer session.

Forgive me Adonai because of my grieve I am unable to do any Torah / Haftorah / Brit Chadashah portions reading for the rest of the Parshah and not only just for Ekev and Re’eh. I can’t even celebrate any of the High Holiday festivals that HaShem has appointed for us in the Torah. My dad was taken away by the Lord on 25 Aug 2011 at 3pm during Parshat Ekev’s week. He was born on the 22 June 1934.

26 Aug to 28 Aug 2011 was my dad’s funeral wake. On 28 Aug 2011 at 5pm sent for cremation. 29 Aug 2011 morning was to take dad’s ashes to install onto the Chua Choo Kang Columbarium chosen niche. From 26 Aug 2011 to 31 Aug 2011 is 6 days. Hence, August is not only just the saddest month for the Jewish people because of the 2 lost Temples but it is also the saddest month for us all that we have lost our beloved dad so unexpectedly. Lord, please have mercy on all of us.

I have written about my dad in my past blogs ie The BEST Gift from GOD on November 5, 2009 and Testimony due on April 17, 2008 and some others.

It has been a year that I have stopped writing blogs over here but I will continue especially to discuss about Torah study as well as about the place where my dad is right now.
