My father passed away on June 6 after being diagnosed with esophageal cancer (식도암) just last December. He was only 72.
I had a lot to think about in retrospect to his passing away. I will dearly miss my father who was always in good spirits regardless of our situations.
I had made peace with my father and expressed my love for him in the past which made me feel better than if hadn't. While attending Father School, I remember writing him a letter which said "I finally started to understand why my father had to be tough and stingy with us" Since I recently became a father, I started to understand how hard it is to take care of just one child and my father had seven children.
All in all, my father lived a good life. I wish he was still with us physically but I know that he is in our hearts.
He smoke all those years which I belive caused his cancer so if you are still smoking, i reckon you should quit.
This experience reminded me, there is more to life than work, position, prosperity, etc. There is a more noble thought for the meaning of life. It's for you and I to love one another. That is what loving God is all about too.
Dad, We Love You! See you in heaven! Honey, YehEun & new baby, I Love You Too!
