Today marks a new beginning. Here is a last tribute to our founding father. Thank you for all you've done for Singapore and for us. May you be reunited with your loved one and continue to shine on us from above. I like to think that passing on doesn't mean you cease to exist, it just means you will live forever in our hearts. Life goes on. (Image credit: Evacomics) #tributetolky #rememberinglky #riplky #leekuanyew #foundingfather #李光耀 #建国之父
Today, my heart was heavy while watching the State funeral. When Singaporeans cried and the heavens weeped for him, I realised I too couldn't hold back my tears. No, not at all.
My kids saw Mama weeping on the sofa as we watched "Remembering Lee Kuan Yew". Maybe they didn't understand why the emotions were so strong, to be honest I didn't too, but they sure knew sorrow when they saw it.
5-year-old Angel came up to give me a tight embrace and laid on my chest for a long time. She didn't say a word, but as my tears flowed onto and down her head, I could hear her quietly sobbing too. 2-year-old Ariel asked "Mummy, why are you crying?" I pointed to the TV and told her I was sad that Mr Lee left us. She thought for a moment, then said "Mummy misses Lee Kuan Yew" before she climbed up to me and used a piece of tissue paper to dab on my eyes. Then she looked down, spoke in a sad voice, tried to 'dry' her own eyes and gave me a big bear hug.
I never felt more thankful to be a Singaporean and to be a mum than I felt at that point. Thank you kids, for alleviating my pain. Thank you Mr Lee, for giving my family this beautiful homeland. We will pass on the legacy and do our best to make it even better for generations to come. Farewell, our father. #riplky

It's a Friday night and usually we will be out playing and having fun. But today, there is nothing else I wish to do other than to pay our respects again and pen our tribute in the condolence book at Tampines, the place where I lived for the first 20 years of my life.
Angel made a flower for Mr Lee and wrote "Thank you, Mr Lee for giving me a home." I think that tells a lot and I am glad she is starting to understand why Singaporeans are so proud, and blessed, to have him as our founding father.
Thanks to the priority queue and the patience from the volunteers, the girls and I were given ample time to say thanks and bid farewell. Together, we bowed thrice and said the words "Thank you, Mr Lee." It touched my heart to hear Ariel say it loud and clear, and though she can't fully comprehend now, one day I will make sure she does.
And years down the road, I will remind them of the time in the week of 23 March 2015, when Singaporeans from all walks of life came together hand in hand, stood up and supported each other, and showed the world that we can and will continue to be one people, one nation, one Singapore.
