 #Memory of Bea (2012~2015-2025)  Things I like to do with you,  To walk barefoot and yours on fours. Things I like to do with you, To throw a toy and you may not fetch.  Because,... Things you like to do with me, To follow around everywhere, every second. Things I like to do without you,  To think of you while you're over the rainbow bridge. Things I like to do when you're not around anymore.                 Looking at the last photograph of you.  Dream Freely  & Wisely ; Jayne

#The Sound of Silence# #SADeaf #https://sadeaf.org.sg/ Sign language that is natural to the non-hearing community, looks unfamiliar to others in the general hearing society.  Sometimes they communicate better than us who can hear and speak.

#ADOPT, DON’T BUY   #Second Chance Animal Shelter # https://www.secondchance.com.my/ KEIKO (2008-2023), as you cross the rainbow bridge, where you run and play with your friends while waiting for me. One day I shall see you again. This sassy girl came to my home and was filled with lots of joy and memories that last a lifetime.  Many sheltered dogs never had a chance to experience the warmth of a family till their last breath.  Every dog deserves a second chance beyond the shelter.  Perhaps,  there's something in your own life that could benefit from a fresh start, a new chapter filled with memories to cherish. Is there anything you wanted to pursue, a dream you have set aside, or a challenge you'd like to overcome? Perhaps, her arrival is a gentle nudge to embrace my own second chance. Her departure sets a reminder to embark on a brave new chapter of discovery. Or whatever that might look like for you. This sassy girl has always been my inspiration and pro...
