Whenever Mr Tan looks at the stars that are twinkling in the sky, he would be reminded of the day he lost his son,Ryan.
Ryan was a boy who loved outdoor activities. There was a newly built park opposite his house.One cloudy Monday afternoon,Ryan was having a school holiday. Mr Tan had taken a one day childcare leave to accompany his son.He decided to bring Ryan to the park to play.
Upon reaching,they saw a funfair.Ryan asked his father if he could bring him there.His father agreed.Mr Tan went to join the queue for the tickets to the funfair and told Ryan to keep himself occupied.
Ryan roamed around the park.It led him to a lonely road.There were no cars.Ryan stepped onto the road.Just then,Mr Tan had bought the funfair tickets and went to search for Ryan.Mr Tan saw Ryan standing on the road.
Just as he wanted to call for Ryan,a motorcyclist,driving at a very fast speed,saw Ryan but could not stop in time.Ryan was knocked down and his forehead was bleeding profusely.
Immediately,Mr Tan took out his cell phone and dialled for the ambulance.Wails of sirens could be heard within minutes.Soon,the red and white vehicle could be seen.The paramedics rushed down from the ambulance and wasted no time carrying Ryan onto the stretcher.His heart was pounding very quickly as his dear son's life was in danger.
The paramedics tried to stop the bleeding but to no avail.When they arrived at Singapore General Hospital,Ryan was pronounced dead.
Mr Tan was so sad that he walked back home sobbing.From that day onwards,he decided to use the stars that were twinkling in the sky to help him think back of his son.
