James' Story

We Were Not Ready To Say Goodbye...

“We can never turn back the pages of time, though we may wish to relive a happy moment, or say goodbye just one last time, we never can, because the sands of time continue to fall, and we can’t turn the hourglass over.” ~ Unknown

My Kids and I: Letting Go and Moving On

Let Light Shine Out Of Darkness...
Of Living And Loving... And Moving On
Endings Always Bring New Beginnings

“Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go.” ~Herman Hesse

You Are Stronger Than You Think

"You are stronger than you think, remember to stand tall. Every challenge in your life helps you to grow. Every problem you encounter strengthens your mind and your soul. Every trouble you overcome increases your understanding of life. When all your troubles weigh heavily on your shoulders, remember that beneath the burden you can stand tall, because you are never given more than you can handle... and you are stronger than you think." ~Lisa Wroble

A Powerful Prayer That Was Meant To Be Shared

"My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as You will."

A Pocketful of Sunshine

"Even when the sky is heavily overcast, the sun hasn't disappeared. It's still there on the other side of the clouds. ~Eckhart Tolle (The Power of Now)

Praising in Desperation

"When there is nothing left but God, that is when you find out that God is all you need."

The Masquerade

taking things

in stride

what is it

you hide

behind the mask

you wear

what's the secret

you can't bare

your empty
laughter

gives away
the answer

Happy Birthday James

James Yap, September 11, 1965- January 2005

James, your light shines on through our three children.
They are my greatest treasure.
Thank you so much for everything!

Had James been alive, he would have turned 45 today. We may have moved on but we have not forgotten. He will always be in our hearts. And we will forever be grateful for all the memories he left behind.

About Me

Bing Yap: On January 25, 2005, I lost my husband. Welcome to my random thoughts about losing James and finding myself again. For in this journey called Life, "there is no such thing as a negative experience... only opportunities to grow."

Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you decide to see beyond the imperfections.

"Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward to the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage and confidence." ~ Og Mandino

If I could wish for my life to be perfect, it would be tempting, but I would have to decline, for life would no longer teach me anything.
