I am too young to remember anything significant about Mr Lee. In fact, I did not even know how his voice sounds like until this week. 

I thought of him as a terrifying man, though articles written by his daughter tells a different story. 

I have many questions I wanted to ask him. Like, if he thinks that someone like me is worthy of being a Singaporean. I am too timid, too quiet. I cannot identify with many things that constitutes a Singaporean identity. Sometimes, I wonder if he does some things wrong, and what are his feelings about 'failure'.

Then I heard his quotes in one of the tribute documentaries - that he did what was correct at the time. 

Yes, he is only a mortal. I know that some of his actions had ired certain people during the course of his career, his life.

As a mortal, he should be permitted to rest in peace now.

Sir, you can finally lay down his burden. Believe that we will find a way to a better tomorrow. Maybe we will make mistakes; we will try to find another way then.
