miss cathy

recieved a very sad news yesterday night
my physics teacher passed away on the 28...

when i heard the news my mind and heart just went blank
mr ho was someone who affected my secondary sch a lot
he was one of those lovely ppl i thank in my previous post
one of those who guide me throu my darkest years
he as always there for our cls
nvr giving up on even the worst of us
when the rest of the teachers couldnt be bothered
when the rest of them yell and scold
he nvr lost his temper
he was firm
but yet gentle in a lot of ways
he was upset when i flunked my science
he talked and tried to help me
he was the reason i even studied for my physics O's
i didnt want to let him down
he was the reason we got 3rd during our sec science fair
we were the only N/A cls in top 3
he united our cls
guide us throu the steps
we nvr felt sooo proud of our selves
the cls with the most bengs
got 3rd
our yearly party on teachers' day
he helped talk with the sch
out of my 5 years in sec sch
he taught 4 years
was our form teacher for 1
when we knew he got cancer
as he got thinner and weaker
we prayed harder
he fought for what? 6 years?
he tried and he fought for 6 yrs
with his student's support every step of the way

Mr Ho didnt lose to cancer
to me i think
he won...
it might be too young to die at 38
but he's got all of our prayers
our support
our love
our memories of him will nvr die
it will live long and strong

We miss you Mr Ho
and I thank you
for saving me from my own destruction
for guiding me
for teaching me lessons beyond the cls room
for brightening our cls and everywhere u went with that hearty laughter of yours
you didnt know how many hearts u've warm with it...
