Paper Folding for the Dearly Departed

The last two (2) days was sombre and a very busy paper folding day.  Not for any special origami event but instead to bade a fond farewell to my dearest aunt Wai Cheuk as we finally lay her to rest to be with our creator.

As part of the chinese traditional funeral custom, I and my relatives had to fold some paper offerings which will be burned for her to bring into the afterlife.

Life must go on ... and I know as I go through this rite of passage, I will become more attune to what's important in life ... to be thankful for every waking morning and to live each day to the fullest!
