lil Reutens history

been wanting to do this...

ever since i had my digital camera, i've always wanted to take a pic of PROOF that my grandfather and grandmother was the creator of the hymn (we all sing in church) .... the Bapa Kami...

my grandfather was sort of a scholar/literature/holy/bible knowledged kinda guy and he was very known in the church community... he had like wat (i can't really remember) 4 or 6 priests at his funeral??!! hahah... anyway, he was one of the ppl who was in the team to build the Holy Spirit Church in Green Lane... am not too sure on which part of the building process he was in but he was sure involved...

and since my grandmother was a piano teacher, she and grandfather came up with this hymn, he translated the Our Father into Malay and my grandmother came up with the music... (that's what i've been told)

so.. everytime i sing the original (yes, they have made a few variations to the song) Bapa Kami... i think of them and how proud i am to be their granddaughter....

miss them lots.... :(
