<p><em>Food Rush!! Don&#8217;t Push!!</em></p>
<p>The day had <strong>finally come for me to say goodbye</strong>. I was reluctant as I have now found family so dear. Yes, never had I had truly understand what it was to truly have a family of God until these people came into my life. I&#8217;m honored they loved me, accepted me and even respected me.<span id="more-467"></span></p>
<p>It was a simple wednessday night. My <strong>parents labored through the day</strong> to make sure that sufficient food was present at the table. Honestly, I don&#8217;t even know how to appreciate them for that. It was something they didn&#8217;t have to do yet did. Such grace is overwhelming. I assisted in very little that day. People started coming in early that day. So I began the usual repetition of the same story over and over again so that people would understand why I&#8217;m leaving.</p>

<p><em>My immediate Family!</em></p>
<p>Many were happy for me, many I couldn&#8217;t tell hahahha. More importantly was the fact that <strong>I was happy that so many came.</strong> I would probably have this last moment with them and maybe it may take me a while to actually see them again. All of them mean loads to me. I was so going through this in my head for the past few days visualising everything. In my heart I was telling myself, please don&#8217;t cry as I was preparing myself as I didn&#8217;t want to cry. I didn&#8217;t want anybody to cry because I may never stop crying that night if that happens.</p>

<p>Somehow that night, with no agenda and formalities, just plain fellowship, there was no crying. There were heavy hearted goodbyes but no crying. I thank God. <strong>There were loads of smiles, joy and laughter</strong>. Parting ways is always difficult but I wanted us to be happy because there is hope.</p>
<p>There was a song that I really <strong>wanted to sing for you all</strong>. I didn&#8217;t because it would cause me to cry. Here I will post the lyrics of that song. I sang this song again with my cheap mic. I dedicate this song to you! This is my prayer for all of us. I want to mention again. I love you all from the deepest part of my heart. I can&#8217;t calm my emotions down hence the cracking. Sorry. It is also purely unedited because I have no time to but I hope it speaks to you the way it speaks to me.</p>

<p><a href="http://leonlimkokweng.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/pray-for-me.mp3">Pray For Me</a><strong> &#8211; Michael W. Smith</strong></p>
<p>Here is where the road divides<br />
Here is where we realize<br />
The sculpting of the Father&#8217;s great design<br />
Thru&#8217; time you&#8217;ve been a friend to me<br />
But time is now the enemy<br />
I wish we didn&#8217;t have to say goodbye<br />
But I know the road He chose for me<br />
Is not the road He chose for you<br />
So as we chase the dreams we&#8217;re after</p>
<p><strong>Chorus</strong>:<br />
Pray for me and I&#8217;ll pray for you<br />
Pray that we will keep the common ground<br />
Won&#8217;t you pray for me and I&#8217;ll pray for you<br />
And one day love will bring us back around again</p>
<p>Painted on our tapestry<br />
We see the way it has to be<br />
Weaving thru&#8217; the laughter and the tears<br />
But love will be the tie that binds us<br />
To the time we leave behind us<br />
Memories will be our souvenirs<br />
And I know that thru&#8217; it all<br />
The hardest part of love is letting go<br />
But there&#8217;s a greater love that holds us</p>
