Amidst celebrations for her son Skye's first birthday, Malaysian actress Sora Ma, 41, posted a heartfelt message remembering her late husband, who died when she was pregnant with Skye.
In a post on Friday (Aug 1) evening, Sora, who's based in Singapore, shared a photo of a remembrance ceremony that was held some time ago, Shin Min Daily News reported.
Sora had announced the arrival of Skye in August 2024, but a few months later in December, she disclosed that her husband had died six months prior, without revealing the cause of death.
According to The Straits Times, her husband was a Singaporean businessman in his late 40s.
The couple had reportedly began dating in 2013 after a year of knowing each other and tied the knot in 2021. They held a wedding banquet, which was attended by many of Sora's local celebrity friends, at the Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel the following year.
In a letter to her husband posted to her IG Story on Aug 1, Sora wrote: "Dear husband, although you are no longer with us in physical form, but we feel your presence, accompanying our child, learning and growing together.
She also shared that family and friends have had to cope with the loss, and how they often speak of fondly of him.
"Linda had asked before, how did I cope during the most difficult of times. I answered, 'because we loved without regret!' Sora shared. It is not clear who Linda refers to.
She continued: "When you were alive, we were not stingy about expressing our love. We gave each other the deepest care and accompanied each other from the start till the final moment."
Sora added that her husband is sorely missed during special occasions.
"During every holiday and special occasion, I've never stopped missing you.... these 11 years of love that you've given me, is enough for me to care for Skye till he is grown up."
Sora stated that the remembrance ceremony was held a year after his passing as she did not have time to inform all their friends. She noted that she was pleasantly surprised by stories from friends whom he'd helped.
"I'm so proud of you," she wrote, adding that his friends would still "speak" to him through messages sent to his mobile number.
This world is better because you were in it," she added.
Earlier that day, Sora had also shared a series of photo of herself and Skye commemorating his birthday, writing that her son had "changed my life forever".
"Thank you, baby, for coming into my life... for pulling me out from the darkest days and leading me into the warmest sunlight I've ever known.
"I'll spend the rest of my life learning, growing and loving beside you."
She had also shared photos from Skye's birthday celebration, which was attended by celebrities such as Rebecca Lim, Hong Huifang, Apple Hong and Chen Xiuhuan.
