Work has reduced me to just purely a week end “son” to my father as I spend most of my time in overseas project. It has been going on for almost 11 years until my Kidney Cancer turns me into more human, grounding me back at home accompany my father for the last 3 month of his life in this earth as my father. I could not turn back the clock but I hope its serves as a reminder to my friends and colleagues, that they are things that money could not buy, that is the relationship of a father and son.
This is the photo that I was referring to. In this photo my father is actually sewing up his torn shirts, although he has a lot of new shirts in his cupboard but he still prefers to wear this torn shirt. You could see his was smiling as I was coaxing him to look up to the camera…….

Lost my dad 10 years ago... have a similar pic of my dad mending a broken basket... bare breasted, and not looking at the camera... if I could only track down that photo... anyway, my symphaties to you my friend...
The pic. of your dad brings tears to my eyes. Reminds me of my mum and how sorry I am until today that I didn't spend enough time with her until it was too late. She died last year of cancer. Now, I try to be there for my dad (who is 80!)

Tan Chun Wei, well after a while, our own home felt more like a hotel. Our place in overseas felt more like home.... We need to stump on our feet and changed or else something will make us change.
Death is a hard thing to deal with. Life just move on .......
