Tribute to dear Alfred

Written by Hannah Tan

I had the privilege of meeting a young boy who not only inspired me but also touched my heart in more ways than one. On the night of my arrival from Tokyo, I received news about young boy who had been on life support for about a month at University Hospital. And through a friend of a friend of a friend, I came to know that this young boy’s wish was to meet me in person. The very next day, I made it a point to drop by to say hello and during that short visit, I made a promise to him – that I would take him out for a meal, to have whatever he wanted, once he got out of hospital.

Four days later, I made a shout out to him on national TV, during my guest appearance on Venus at NTV7. The next morning, I received news that he passed away in his sleep, peacefully. His name was Alfred. I never did get a chance to pass him this picture nor did I get a chance to fulfill my promise with the meal, but I thank God for the chance to say hello and meet his wonderful mother, and give this inspiring young boy a hug while at it. *smile*

To the family and loved ones of Alfred, I share the sentiments of your loss and pray that you’ll find comfort in Him.

They say it takes a second to find a special person,
A minute to know them,
An hour to appreciate them,
But an entire life just to forget them.

My deepest condolence to Alfred's family. what a touching post. how sweet of Hannah. Rest In Peace Alfred.
GOD BLESS...
