On 31 May 2014 morning, my dad passed away too.
I am much sadden by the demise of both parents within a short span of 12 months. They were absolutely great parents. I was their only son, and hence the most loved child. I love them dearly as well.
My father had told me that he wished for Taoist rites when the time come. I respected his wish, and hence it was Taoist rites for both mum and dad.
I myself, am a Christian.. Taoism is not my religion nor my belief. However, out of respect and reverence for my parents, I went through the Taoist rites.
I rest on Christ's promise that "Behold I stand on the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him..." Revelations 3:20. I have asked Jesus to grant my parents, even after they had already entered the spiritual world, the grace to recognize Him as the true Son of God, to acknowledge Him, and to be granted a place in Heaven. Then, one day, when its my time to leave this world, I will see them in Heaven again. This is my plead to God.
When he was still alive, I had told dad that when he breathed his last and crossed over to the spiritual world he meet various spiritual beings, deities, and gods great and small. Then, he would have to identify the Greatest God, and recognize God's Son and follow after Him. Our God of Host is merciful forever, and He will always grant salvation to someone who 'opens the door', regardless of whether a person is on earth or in the spiritual world. I strongly believe that Christ will not reject someone who 'opens the door'. It's never too late.
Thank you Jesus Christ..
