一大早一到公司，放下包包，換了鞋子，拿著杯子直奔廚房．
拿起The Sydney Morning Herald，
直接翻到Death Notification section，
找尋Stuart's funeral details．
Pull the section out and make a copy of it.
網上也有記載：

回到辦公桌上打開電腦，把資料傳給朋友．
It seems everyone is doing the same thing this morning as I start receiveing similar emails in my inbox from my other friends.
一整天朋友之間互傳訊息organising flowers to be delivered to Stephen's place.
Some asking me how I'm going to go down there.
我早已租好車子準備自己開車下去．
朋友勸說再等到拜五中午，也許可以跟別人的車．
我婉拒了她的好意，I said I might need a quiet time after the service and drive around the town before heading back home.
其實我已經兩年多沒開車，應該不會有問題，一個半小時的路程用兩個半小時去開，應該可以的．
但還是會担心自己當天的情況，去沒問題，回來呢？
不會有事的，I know you'll watch over me from above.
下班後趁Thursday shopping night，到每一間有賣卡片的店去選一張the perfect sympathy card for Stephen.
Reading one card after another, visiting one shop after another，仍找不到我要的那一張，而淚水已快要奪眶而出．
來到Myer五樓才終於找到那一張，一張能完完全全地表達我的心情的卡片．
拿到櫃台結帳，櫃台小姐用同情的眼神看著我不知該說什麼．
匆匆結了帳直奔Townhall火車站坐車回家．
下大雨了，連天空也為你哀悼．
是該接受事實的時候，你真的走了．
朋友說很多客戶都哭著打電話到公司尋問funeral details.
你離開的消息已傳遍澳洲各個銀行．
而both Pinpointers and ex-Pinpointers come together as a big family，大家同心協力安排你的喪事．
你若知道了一定會感到欣慰吧，有這麼多人在乎你．
可以安息了吧，你那短短三十六年的生命並沒有白活．
大姐送了一句bible passage：
"In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I'm going there to prepare a place for you. John 14:2.
I believe He already prepares a room for you, Stuart. When you arrive, He'll come to you with His arms wide open, don't you worry.
選好拜六參加喪禮的衣服，呈現自己最好的一面去見你的最後一面．
那件在日本新買的黑色西裝，黑色襯衫，黑色高跟鞋＆黑色手提包．
你應該不曾看過我這樣的打扮吧．
也好，這樣你才會記住．
相機．．．還是帶著吧
Although it's a sad memory, but worth captured and remembered.
打開street directory找路線
這次可不能像以前那樣吵著要你幫我指路，得自己找好．
See you soon Stuart.
