Waking up early morning to the news of the passing of our beloved founding father Mr. LKY, and heart kind of skipped a beat despite knowing what's to come after last week's continuous updates. This man, is responsible for the roads we walk on, the peace and security we possess and continuous prosperity of the nation. He dedicated his entire life to the building of this tiny red dot, turning it from a third world of nothingness to one of the busiest flourishing country in the world.
Yes we (even I) are guilty of constantly grumbling & complaining of the increasing numbers of foreigners and rocketing sky-high costs of living in Singapore. But this leader brought us to what we have now, where we're now and his efforts and hard work is something all of us cannot deny him of. Looking at the improving pace of this small country, comparing to our neighbors (no offense), we're moving forward at an alarming speed for a place our size globally. And this is a remarkable feat.
This man taught us how to grow, how to not be restricted by the limits of our size, our resources and showed the world what and who Singapore is.
Today we lost an inspiring leader for all, we lost the one we owe our success to. He may not have won the hearts of all, but frankly who ever have/can?
Patriotic or not, this place we call home is where it is, what it is, because of this man. No words will ever be enough to thank his lifetime of work done for us and the nation.

Let's learn how to be grateful, be thankful and be satisfied for the things we possess that a lot envies but we ourselves often take for granted. The security, the peace, our highly regarded education system and clean, amazing home
As I watched his son address the nation this morning, how he is holding back his tears yet he has to do the important thing to speak to us, my heart unknowingly goes out to him and I felt sad remembering that as we talk about LKY as our esteemed, respected leader, we perhaps forgot that his family and PM Lee lost his dear father, and a beloved family member.
He is, but an ordinary son, tortured and overwhelmed by the loss of the one that taught him, brought him up and loved him.
After daddy Oh's case, and having seen how Alfred and his loved ones grieve, I will never forget the pain and torment it brings to lose someone so close to you and at that moment, watching him on TV almost brought tears to my eyes
