I read a book on my relative's history written by himself. I call him Na Oad [Uncle Oad]. His wife[Na Taew] is my mother's cousin which is equal to younger sister. Now, Na oad has passed away at the age of 75 by cancer and left his book to the guest who attended his cremation ceremony.
Na Oad's pride was being an army. His last position was the Lieutenant General as a commander of the Arms and Ammunition Department which his father used to be in this position before. When he was a student, after graduation from basic education, he tried to apply for the army school for three years and he was achieved. Most of his brothers had been in this school and served successfully in army careers. He also was fond of music and writing songs. He was the cheer leader in school and participated in the music band during studying, his army service and retiring. He had a chance to perform on air in His Majesty the King's radio channel which he said that it was the very great pride for him in life. After retiring, he was still the centre of friends that coming to his house for music and pleasure. His life was full of direct ways and happiness.
Na Oad got married to my aunt which was his close school friend's sister, Na Taew. Na Tan was Na Oad close friend in Am nuae silpa School. One day, Na Tan invited Na Oad to Udornthanee to live with his family and Na Oad met Na Taew there. Their true love had begun and remained happily until the end. I remembered when I was a boy and Na Taew lived with us when she got off for the weekend holidays from the Nursing School at Ying[Rajwitee] Hospital. Na Oad came to see Na Taew and brought her out for dinner. They were the impressive lovely couple and I still have their images in my mind. Na Taew said she loved Na Oad's fang teeth which were charming, I remembered.
Na Oad and Na Taew had two daughters. They were quite attractive. The oldest one got married and had a healthy grand son. Their younger daughter was single eventhough she was so lovely and beloved among the family and relatives. Unfortunately, she passed away with cancer only a few years before Na Oad's time. The family were in great sorrow for this loss. Na Oad did too. He wrote that, he was sitting catching her hand in the emergency room for all time. Neither food nor water came to him. He was doing like that until she left. How ever, he concluded that it was good for her to leave before him and never saw him in great pain. The good way to think positively.
His story impressed me and brought back my childhood memory. Their story was a sample case for the young lovers to follow. They were happy and had good lives together. I was sad not being able to attend his cremation to see him leaving for good. From now, there is no Na Oad like that again. Promising that I would remember Na Oad and his happy companies. I'd like to see Na Taew but I have no way to contact her. I want to say "Thanks a lot, Na Taew to hand me an impressive book on my adoring hero when I was a child". I hope that Na Taew continue her happy life with her remained family and friends particularly her grand children. Send my regards to Na Tan for me too. Chavalvut
