2nd October 2010.
Mrs Lee Kuan Yew passed away.
If Mr Lee Kuan Yew is the founder of modern Singapore, then Mrs Lee is our dear mother, the one who silently nurtures her children, just like all mothers.
Mrs Lee Kuan Yew, aged 89.
She passes on, leaving behind 4 million children, a first-world metropolis city and many more brilliant generations to come.
I'm not good with words, because now i have no idea what to say.
I did not know Mrs Lee personally because she kept a really low profile, but if i know what MM Lee has done for Singapore, then to say she contributed to Singapore's success would be an understatement.
So i know that this is a very - almost too short - tribute, but i think that the media has already told everyone about the wonderful life Mrs Lee lived and i have no need to repeat it here. I just want to remember her, rembember her selfless contributions and to remember the mother of Singapore.
Mrs Lee, RIP.
“You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.” She Is Gone - David Harkins xo Andrea
