there's nothing witty or poetically sarcastic about this post.


this post is simply dedicated to a good friend and mentor uncle simon gwee who passed away 2 days ago after a lost battle with cancer.


i know i didn't know him as well as some of the other national boys did but I still had great respect for the man and a good friendship with him. simple but straight shooting. never one to back down to comprimise his integrity or beliefs. he was a REAL man.



but if there was one thing i think i'd want to take home from this mans life was the fact that he believed in me. he saw something inside of me and whenever he can, egged me on to keep grinding and keep believing in myself.



surely at this very moment in my life thats all I really need to do. just believe in myself.



his passing has surely cast a mournful shadow over us all for a brief moment, but he wouldnt want us to grieve for too long. there are better and more important things to accomplish in life and he knew it.



you're one stand up guy uncle simon. i really am going to miss you.



God Bless and Keep you always



spread the lovin'
