♥, Coach Michael Chiam.
my heart aches as reality finally sinks in.
it took me about a day to realise that you're really gone, for good, despite being out of my life for 2 years. i spent the whole of last night just thinking about you, everything you've done for Whackers, how each Whacker girl stood a place in your heart.
you were never selfish. you were always full of joy and faith in us. you were determined to change us. you saw each strength of ours while all we saw was our weakness. you, our Coach, you brought out the best in everyone of us.
everyone's bound to feel remorse, regrets or grief as someone who holds close to their heart moves on to the other world. i do not regret not having given it my all during my softball years because i believe that i did my best, always carrying the mindset of always making you proud, never letting you down. but my only regret is not respecting you as a Coach the past 2 years.
i couldn't help but tear as i read your obituary piece this morning- "Singapore Softball Legend".
your memories will forever be etched in my heart because you are the one who made a difference in my life. in fact, you touched so many others' lives. you, Coach, are indeed a true legend. but you're more than that. you're not only a legend, but a hero.
a hero, an inspiration, a motivator, an idol, my benefactor.
now, to repay our gratitude, it is our duty as your Whackers team to carry on your legacy and share your greatness with future generations to come through your beloved team- JPL and bringing glory once again to your name and Whackers team as how seniors once did through your grooming, unfaltering love and determination.
Coach Michael Chiam, i wish you well. may God bless you and your family.
& may you rest in peace.
