Moonchild

Leslie Sim was 61 years old when he succumbed to his illness. Months after he died, his widow found the manuscript for Moonchild on yellowed pieces of paper.

As if he had known that many years ago of what would happen to him, Leslie had written Moonchild to serve as a reminder to the loved ones he left behind that as much as we long for the passed, we still have the living to share our love with.

Leslie spent a good portion of his working life in the newsrooms before making a career switch to investor relations consulting.

"Purple spoons with silver moons and pillows with doggos... but don’t dig too deep for symbols; it’s just Leslie. It’s pure Leslie. He had somehow managed to hide himself in Neverland. Moonchild rescues us from the horrors of death and leaves us a precious message from the other side. But, again, don’t try to derive too many lessons from Moonchild, because Leslie is not into all that. He’d just tell you to put on a pair of purple spectacles and go where your heart and mind lead."
