My mother's death
My mother died on August 6th. The last entry date of this doodling blog was August 5th. It's unbelievable, but it's been more than four months since my mother passed away. Since then, I couldn't draw, write or anything. I felt like I was paralyzed.
I had returned to Japan every year, sometimes twice, three times to see my father and mother especially after my mother's condition became bad (I live in San Francisco). However, I couldn't go back at all this year due to COVID...then, in the middle of COVID era, my mother passed away.
After my father's sudden death two years ago, only my mother, who was sick, remained. My mother was in and out of the hospital at least for last five years or her life. She had been in the hospital since I returned home in October of last year. She was determined to go home and she told me that a few weeks before her death. She worked very hard to get well more than anyone could. I admire her strength and will. So I know I am selfish to say this...but I wanted to see my mother one more time.
