HAPPY BIRTHDAY BARNABAS!
Actually it is belated birthday cos his birthday is on 28 Dec (yesterday). Thks Mich for remembering, not that I forget, I just got the dates mixed up..... thought that today was 28 Dec....haha! I want to post something as a tribute to my precious first born, Barnabas, Tan Yong En.
It's been abt 2 years plus since he left us...... but the memories are still strongly rooted in our hearts. We set up a small corner to put all his stuff as a remembrance (see above). Ok, not going to post anything sad or weepy here..... just going to be thankful for all that God had done in our lives through him.
NOTE TO BARNABAS, our son of encouragement (for those who do not know, that's the meaning of his name.):
Barn Barn, these are the things that we missed about you:
1. Your lovely smile everytime we fed and burped you
2. Your courage when you had to go through 2 surgeries
3. Your patience when we had to feed you countless medicine
4. Your gentle touch each time you reach out to us
5. Your big & beautiful brown eyes..... just like daddy
6. Your funny expressions
7. Your ability to attract so many nurses in the hospital.... they even visited you out of working hours...... so sweet!
8. Your sweet smell
9. Your tiny little feet & hands
10. Last but not least..... for being such an easy baby, you really satisfied our parenting instinct then.
This is the album that I make in remembrance of Barn....it was a difficult and painful task cos I was blurred with tears as I put up the photos and captions. I just want to pen down everything about him at that time.
Though right now, we are busy taking care of Joash, we have not forgotten one bit of Barn...... he is our first born and has a special place in our hearts (not that we love Jo any lesser, ok! We just love them differently!). The short period of time spent with him was priceless and precious.
BARN BARN, MUMMY MISS & LOVE YOU SO SO SO MUCH! HOW I WISH YOU CAN BE AROUND TO PLAY WITH DI DI JOASH. I AM SURE HE WILL LOVE HIS BIG BROTHER TOO!
And yes.... once again thank you to all who had seen us through those times, we couldn't do it without you!
