SG Chio Bu Touching story
My gf even asked are u sure you wanna date a cow-boy? What can he give you?
I paused and smiled back.
However, I knew I can’t stop seeing that pair of glowing eyes of love that this colourful man has.
He said - 我不能给你大车大屋，可是我可以答应你有饭吃，有床睡。Silly as it may, I fell for this simple statement and dated him. My nights were never lonely again.
Our relationship progressed, from friends, to stay together till one fine day, the pregnancy kit was tested positive. He couldn’t sleep that night!
Being a step-father to Mathias wasn’t a difficult task for him, simply because he loves children. When Mat wanted chicken wings, Brian bought a plate of 10 wings and placed them in front of him. How can he even finished them? Hahah! Little Mat told his traditional grandma - who says tattoo men r bad- Uncle Brian is a good guy Ah-Ma. He agreed to let me marry this tattoo uncle and called him Daddy since. For whatever Mat wanted, Brian has never said no.
He always tells this growing boy, if this is what you want and Daddy can give, I will give to you.
Mat has got his Long lost fatherly love from Brian.
2016 June- Meagan was born.
The family grew from 3-4. Meagan brought us many smiles, many parenting challenges. It also gave my parents a good chance to know this man, Brian Lim. He never said no to my naggy mom. He always say- whatever I can do, I will give in to your mom. Because she is your mom. Mommy then started to give herself the chance to know Brian. Till date, Mommy and Brain can go shopping without me being present. Their communication style is so unique- something which my brother and I can never apply.
This lovely man didn’t stop loving us all. Meagan was 6 months old when I got pregnant with Mikel.
I never had to wake up for any night feeds since then. He handed Meagan through all her fussy nights. Mea was his 小情人。
Come Sep 2017, our family grew again. Handsome Mikel was born and we grew from 4-5. Brian could also apply his learnt baby caring skills once again, now to his newborn son.
This humble house of ours is since never quiet with their beautiful noises.
As his wife and a mother of 3, I boldly say Brian has never shortchanged me. I continued to have days of good night’s sleep and flower surprises too.
We were all so engrossed in loving the family. Then cancer came knocking on our door. Many say having cancer is like a death sentence. Symptoms showed and our precious Papa had to go for tests after tests after tests. When everyone was happily celebrating Xmas 2017, the specialist confirmed his diagnosis that Brian had a rare cancer. We had no choice but to make a fast decision to go for surgery, so to be in time for cny.
Meagan had to be admitted to hospital for a bacteria infection then. We spent our 2018 countdown in the toddler’s ward worrying for her. Brian stayed with her for the whole week. Only when she recovered, he went for his surgery to remove one kidney.
CNY was drawing near, we needed to earn more as finances was strained. Brian though supposed to be recuperating wanted to continue work for the family. He didn’t stop and even suggested to make cny crackers to sell. This man just doesn’t rest or rather doesn’t allow himself to rest. He had only discharged from a 5 hour surgery 2 weeks ago then.
CNY came and we did visiting as per usual. No one will prolly know what he went through. No relatives could even tell any difference.
Now is the time to truly accept.
Our lovely head of the family has to go through Chemo.
A treatment which horrible stories are said, side effects are known yet unavoidable in his condition.
I don’t know what will come along, but I know one thing for sure is he won’t stop fighting.
No one, including doctors can guarantee anything but I know he can guarantee that for as Long as he lives, he will love us all with his heart, his life and his body.
Is there fear? Is there resentment? Is there anger? All these emotions cannot be ignored because this horrible disease creeped into my precious family.
Like I told some friends, I didn’t remarry to be a widow!
But I know all the negative feelings will subside because we will be strong.
Hence now - nothing beats coming together united to pray.
Pray for more wisdom, more faith and more love... ❤️
Pray for divine intervention.
May God be with my precious Husband always. The children and I can’t lose him.
He definitely deserves this precious life to continue giving his positive love.
To all of you who are reading this, may I ask that you kindly help to say a little prayer for him so that he has many more happy days to be a happy man, a giving Son, a loving Father, a great Husband.
Your encouragement can help let him know he is not going through a lonely battle.
Kiss more, love more and pray more. ❤️
May God bless you and your family too.
