Good bye Jeremy

Dearest Jeremy,

Words are simply not enough to express my gratitude for your support and company at NSMC over the past few months. I thank God for placing us together in this wonderful place, and even burdened our hearts with the same vision and mission. As the BBQ comes to an end, the reality of our parting becomes so much more real, and my heart aches.

 You have been such a wonderful brother, a wartime buddy and excellent colleague. I cannot imagine how things would have developed if not for your constant advice and guidance. You are always objective in dealing with situations, helping me see things from a larger picture, beyond just the emotions and feelings. Yet, you are sharp to observe inter-personal relationships and have the wisdom to deal with them. You are never flustered or anxious, able to deal with every challenge calmly and rationally. Above all, you love God and center all your decisions upon Him.

My dearest brother, we have fought so many wars together and overcome the challenges which seemed impossible. It is simply a miracle just how our medical center has grown over the pass few months. We would not be where we are if not for you. New ideas were initiated, many tough calls were made after much discussion and prayer. We have stood by what we believed and shouldered the consequences of our decisions. Praise be the God, for He has shown us great mercy and blessed us abundantly.

Now that you are going off, the fear of tanking the medical center alone seeps in. Yet I know He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Phi 1:6). Though we may part for a short while, the friendship and brotherhood will last for a lifetime. May the Lord continue to shine upon you, to guide you, strengthen you and protect you from all harm. May He bless the work of your hands and bless you with an overpouring blessing, that you may be a blessing to the many others around you.

 My dearest brother, you will be dearly missed.
