A book I spent the whole of yesterday reading (: Running the Full Distance 24 March 1990 - 24 June 2007 Thaddeus Cheong by Belinda Wee This is a first literary effort by Belinda Wee and closely chronicles the life of her nephew from his earliest months in utero to his growing up years. The author humorously relates the life of an embryo and goes on to recall the childish antics of her sister's elder son. Thaddeus was a promising National triathlete who had been selected by the Triathlon Association of Singapore to represent Singapore at international and local meets and had proven himself with his dedication and sportsmanship. It was a short 17 years that he lived and the author describes poignantly the events leading up to his sudden demise on June 24 2007 after he had completed the 2007 South East Asia Games triathlon time trial in his personal best time of 2:09. He was on his way to clinching on the SEA Games squad when he was cut down unexpectedly. The author struggles to come to terms with the loss of her favorite nephew but at the same time embarks on a journey to rediscover her own faith, mainly through he encounters with the myriad people who were touched by the young man in his own special way. It was also a story for all mother, especially those who have experienced loss of their children. The pain which mothers go through when their children are hurt physically or emotionally become palpable as she describes the deep sorrow which engulfed her sister Angie when she lost her firstborn son. Angie was just a supportive mother who allowed her son to pursue his passion but she paid a heavy price for it. Through Thaddeus, the author hopes to help parents and their teenagers understand each other better and to have a harmonious relationship. Video penned by ash.
