As the months drew on, the cancer progressed and the body was weakening. However, his drive for living life to the fullest was stronger.
He savored every moment we had together with our families, friends or just the both of us. The highlight of October was the surprise birthday celebration we threw for him. Friends and family from abroad and Malaysia made their way down on the 4th of October to celebrate this joyous day for this remarkable man....
The radiant smile he wore the whole night is still etched in my mind. He whispered to me that he is so happy and overwhelmed that he wants to cry... but he will not cry as he is to enjoy the company of everyone.
As the 48 of us sang in unison a Happy Birthday song to him, I could feel his heart swell with joy and longing.... longing for a chance to celebrate his next birthday and the birthday after next with everyone in that room. The room was filled with emotions as I knew everyone's birthday wish for him is to get well soon.
The party carried on with much laughter and smiles as we came together with a common aim - to celebrate with great joy with this wonderful man God blessed us with.
Kevin had the most beautiful cake, a present from his KL buddies. There was montage of photos at different stages of his life and it reflected how well loved he is. Kevin's love for sweet foods certainly took charge of what he had that night....the icing of the cake!
The night ended with a sweet touch of a wonderful chocolate dessert and a toast from all to him.
When I prepared him for bed that night, my heart was warmed at the sight of the contented face sleeping peacefully.... Sweet dreams my love!
