As 2025 comes to a close, I find myself looking back on a year that carried both fullness and stillness, movement and pause. It was filled with busy school mornings, growing responsibilities, the quiet pride of stepping into the role of Co President of our P&C, and a renewed sense of purpose as my makeup artistry found its way back into my days, moments that kept life moving at its usual, if not faster pace. Yet it was also the year time quietly stood still when I returned to Singapore to sit beside my father in his final weeks, moments that reshaped my heart forever. Saying goodbye changed me in ways I’m still learning to understand. Since then, grief has woven itself into my everyday life, arriving quietly and unexpectedly, making even ordinary moments feel heavier.

Life continues, as it must. I show up each day as a mum, a wife, a friend, a sister, a daughter, even when it feels like I’m carrying more than before. There have been many firsts without Him, each one a reminder of his absence and the love that remains.

In the midst of it all, I am deeply thankful for my village,near and far. The people who quietly check in, hold space, and lift me when I am at my lowest. Their love has carried me through moments I could not have walked alone.
And so, I move forward. Not because it is easy, but because love teaches us how. As a new year waits ahead, I carry hope gently, hope for softer days, for healing that comes in its own time, and for the strength to hold both grief and gratitude side by side, learning to live fully again while carrying him with me, always. Wishing everyone a very Happy and Beautiful 2026 🥰🩷🎉 by @facesbysarah

It's a strange feeling...losing a parent. Even stranger when you’re living abroad. It's now been six months, since my father passed, and though I am eternally grateful that I could sit by his side in his final weeks, living so far away makes the grief feel cruel in its own way. Some days it still feels like a bad dream I can’t wake up from. Some days I almost believe that the next time I land in Singapore, he’ll be there waiting for me at the airport, his arms open, ready to pull me into his warm familiar embrace🥺 Then reality hits me, and I’m forced to remember all over again that he’s really gone.💔😢

Yet the world keeps handing me pieces of him, as though taunting and...comforting me, all at once.
The smell of cigarettes, the sight of jellybeans, a piece of burnt toast, a can of Coke; each small, ordinary thing is heavy with his presence. Even driving over a speed hump makes me think of him, the memory of how he always glided over them so slowly and effortlessly, something I only truly understood when I began driving myself last year.

What makes the grief harder is being so far from his home, the place where his presence still lives in every corner. Instead, I’m here abroad, where the reminders come and go so quickly, slipping away before I can hold onto them.
So he is everywhere, in every corner of my ordinary life, and not a day goes by that he doesn’t cross my mind, in the big moments and the smallest details. And maybe that’s what keeps me going: knowing that though he’s no longer here, his love still lives with me, everywhere I go🥹🩷

My father would have been 70 today. 🤍
Sometimes I forget that he's passed. It feels like he's just away on a long flight and that I will see him the next time Im in Singapore.
Celebrating birthdays was always our family hallmark. Without fail, at midnight we start the birthday text messages. And then in the day we videocall and wish each other again one more time. Then there's cake, always. My father loved having a reason to celebrate life, even in the smallest moments.
He also just really liked cake.
Today, 17th June 2025, we celebrate him, his life, his legacy. Because of him, us siblings were always reminded that we are stronger together. So we will continue to hold each other a little closer, love a little deeper, and to never take each other for granted. His presence will always continue to surround us in our memories. 🩷

Turning 39 makes you miss alot. I miss being able to bend without my back hurting. I miss sleeping in and not have my body clock automatically wake me up at 6am on a non-school day. I miss being busy with back to back Makeup appointments all year long. But Ive also realised what I miss the most... is the younger version of myself with my parents and siblings. The days and time we can never get back again, but all the beautiful memories we have made with each other over the last 39years. Living away for the last 10years makes me feel Ive missed out on a decade of building memories with them but someone dear (iykyk) told me not to focus on what I was missing out on but what I have had with everyone all these years. And Inshallah I pray I continue to hold on to those words, live fully, and embrace all the happiness and fulfillment in our family lives. 🩷💜 by @facesbysarah
