Thanks to Carly and Project Heal for organizing the Oct 15 Beach Prayer Flag Project. We do not have a active community in Singapore that supports bereaved parents and organizes such memorial events for the bereaved parents to share abt their losses..well at least not to my knowledge... Maybe it is the conservative Asian culture where we do not really talk about these taboo subjects...it's all hush hush..just move on...the disapproving looks and remarks for not being able to produce the heir for the lineage..or even the constant nag to quickly try for the next one in total disregard for the feelings of the mourning parents.
Anyway, people who have not experienced these losses will never be able to fully understand how bereaved parents feel. At best, you might have an inkling if you had lost a dear one before but it is not the same. so dun even try to compare.
Well, as you can see my feeble attempt at making Tyan's prayer flag. Been really out of touch with craft works. No inspiration...Argh! this seems more like a scrapbooking card than a prayer flag...I had to really stir myself up to make this...i really want to do something for Tyan...but somehow i just can't get my enthusiasm up. after all, what's there to be happy about when you are making this flag... when you should be celebrating and organizing his upcoming 1 year old birthday party...that is if he was still around...but i want to do something...it's the least I can do for him...
Crossing my fingers that the mail reach there on time for the ceremony...it would be an awesome sight to see all the prayer flags lined up on the beach. Wish i could be there...
