Proud moment!

The Wang family are very dear to my heart. Parents Chien Ming and Poh Hong married in Melbourne when they were students studing at Monash University. Shortly after the birth of their first son, they moved to Singapore where Chien Ming (known simply as "Wang") took up a lecturing post at the National University and Poh Hong to teaching at a high school. Christopher (pictured with me) is their second son (another son and daughter followed). I visited often, and several times the family came out to Australia, the most memorable visit being shortly before my father's passing. The children invigorated him and gave us the best Christmas ever!
Chris has been studing at Melbourne Uni for the past six years and graduated recently as doctor. What an incredibly proud moment - a credit to him for his perseverence and hard work and also a tribute to the sacrifice and dedication of his parents. They are a great example to me - devoted to their children, working to provide them with every opportunity in life. Congratulations Chris! You will be a wonderful doctor with your skills and God-given gifts of compassion, friendship and faith.
