After taking care of my dad who's suffered from lung cancer for almost a year, he's peacefully passed away at the ages of 71, on 19th February 2023

Unlike the sudden lost, since we learn the truth together about his incurable disease, we did have time to think about what is going to happen next, what's inevitable, what business is still undone and finally, what grudges we've yet to forgive and let it go.

We've talked a lot and of course he cried a lot too, thinking about life and death on daily basis.
But that's why we've talk our hearts out, for the first time in forever, I am proud to be his son.
And at the same time, feel very sorry for him.

Several years ago, I've brought him to therapist since he had mental health issue and unable to ever calm down or be at ease.
I told him I want him to feel joy and be peaceful again, which he accepted my honest offer.

I have done my part as a family member and as his son, so I'm in fact relieve that he was finally free from pain and suffering, able to rest in peace at last

With all the sorrow and worries gone, it's time to keep on moving with life
Now I have my free time back, I'll keep drawing just like I did and update here more frequently.

Thank you so much for reading through my story, your supports helps me a lot in these hard time.

Praying for all the love and peace for you all <3
