yesterday was thaddeus's funeral or rather the last 100m dash to eternal life. at 330 everyone was gathered at church for the mass. many people turned up in pink which was thaddeus's fav colour. in fact the whole church was filled. it was the most crowded funeral mass i've ever been too. i remember crying during homily because of what father said abt thaddeus. all the way until mass ended we were still crying. 5 buses were outside ready to bring us to mandai and when we were at the viewing room ben was crying really badly and i was with her all the way. i couldn't help but cry too cos it hurt to see my friend so sad. as thad finished the last part of the 'race' everyone in the room started clapping and cheering ' go thaddeus do' for a whole minute. i felt so touch. then once more the coffin started to move inwards and ben lurged forward all i could do was to hold her tight and cry with her. she was so unstable when we were moving out to go back to his house. then on the way back i held ben's hands and i finally spoke up abt what had happened earlier. she ended up laughing. why do people always laugh at me...hmmm... okay... by the time we got off the bus... well thats another story... RIP Thaddeus Cheong. you'll be missed always. watch over us all.
loves
