good night, uncle kengwai...
i'm listening to: That was a river -Colin Rayepardon me if i narrate this badly...
there was once a Christian father who had 4 sons. one night, before he went to bed, he said to the first son, "good night, see you again".
he went to the second & third sons and said the same to each of them, "good night, see you again".
but when he went to the fourth son, he said "goodbye". now, this son was a sensitive person and he asked his dad, "why dad? why did you say good night, see you again to the 3 of them but said only goodbye to me? why did u say goodbye to me?"
the father then said to him, "son, it's because if tonight, the Lord comes and takes us home, we'll all meet again. but to you, i can only say goodbye because i will not see you again, unless you believe."
the word goodbye actually means God be with you. when the chinese go their separate ways, they normally say "zai jian" which means see you again.
it's always hard to say goodbye, knowing you won't meet again, esp when a loved one passes on...but if we have hope of meeting again in heaven, we won't have to say goodbye. instead, we should say "good night, see you again"...cos we'll all eventually meet on tt beautiful shore... :D
"good night, uncle kengwai...see you again..."
