My dearest sister Boon Kee is my one and only sister, and I love her dearly. Throughout our journey in life together, we hardly have any disputes. That is because my sister is a kind person that would give her all, her best to anyone whom the Lord brings along her way.
When I was 12 years old, my sister came home all excited to share Christ with me. The day she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior, was the day she led me to Christ.
My beloved sister role modeled the Lord Jesus Christ; by her love for people, her care for the elders, and her kindness reaches out to touch many lives.
I remembered in the year 2001, when she was diagnosed of breast cancer. Instead of giving her a comforting word and a shoulder to cry on, I cried. In return, she encouraged me with these words “Don’t be sad.” What a courageous sister! What a caring sister! Always thinking of others more than herself. Through the years of watching her, jumping from one hurdle to another, I saw her steadfastness in her faith. I was then very much challenged to grow in my own faith.
My dear sister may not say many things about her struggles, but the strength that is in her goes beyond, and I know God is surely doing a great work in her life. I hardly hear her complaining but always professing that God is good.
A month back, Boon Kee texted me to ask whether I have cell meeting. If not, she wanted me to go by to worship with her again, for she enjoyed the worship we had together the last time. My lovely sister is a true worshipper of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I am absolutely proud of her life and I’m also very proud to have a sister like her. She impacted so many lives, near and far. I am thankful to God for blessing me with such a wonderful sister who is full of love, care, grace, kindness, generosity. . .
“I LOVE YOU MY DEAREST SISTER. I AM GOING TO MISS YOU.”
