A tribute to my brother.



In every life,

there comes a time

to walk in shadows and in sunlight,

to hear silence and song

and to shed tears of sadness and of joy,

to forget what has been taken

and to remember

what has been given.



It's not a coincidence that our paths crossed his,

though it may be a short 21 years of his life,

We all know, he has lived well.



It's been 52 days since his departure but what really happened since that fateful night of garry's birthday remains ever-strong. It seemed like yesterday when we head down on garry's birthday to ask the gods about you. It seemed like yesterday when we were informed a body was found and we all gathered at PCG.

We mourn at the loss of a close friend.

We sigh that the heavens have taken you away.

We regret for the number of times we could have been more persistant in making you give up diving.

But,we'll forever remember you and we'll forever smile because you were a great friend to all of us.



Once again,

they can take the tomorrow and all that could have been,

they can take the places that we'll go.

all our future they can take it all away, i wont care but

they can never take yesterday away.


Gerald Chia, i miss you !
