“Good Morning
Up and Reflecting
I want to thank everyone who called,WhatsApp. Messaged me to show their Love even though I could not take the calls etc
It really means a lot to The Hoi Pong Family
Craig was not just my first son he was my friend and my brother
We would talk bout any and everything We would have in depth discussions
We would express our displeasure in things we don’t see eye to eye on but we Always find that common ground if he shows me I’m wrong in a situation I’ll say Sorry and like wise
Every parent dream is for their children to have a better life than theirs but most of all to have inner happiness and to live life to the fullest “WorkHard PlayHarder”
I can say Craig did just that
We must all learn to cherish our love ones bcuz you never know if it’s the last moment you will spend with them make every moment count
Most times you vex with someone it’s bout petty shit be big enough to put pettiness by the way side
I take solace in knowing that Craig’s last moments on earth was about love happiness togetherness and we shared that time together I was the last person he spoke to
We can all look back and say What If
I’ve learnt not to do that years ago but instead to enjoy the present moments in a way that I’ll have no regrets
Craig Lived an accomplished life by manifesting his dreams he was the life of the party
Whenever he comes to Trinidad he would always Surprise me with the latest gadgets
It’s always hard to lose a love one
So people please show the ones you love the affection that they deserve enjoy every moment with them because like me you never know if it’s the last
The lord always bless me in these times as I was blessed to give my mother her last glass of water before she died in my arms and in this case I was blessed with spending his last moments with him
I Love you Son.”
