The whole family was taken by surprise when we were told that our dear father has heart problem in 2014. When I heard this, I remembered that my grandmother has the same condition. It is definitely a confirmation that runs in to the family. Dealing with the situation is nothing new to us anymore, but it is admittedly more worrying since it involves father. I thought he would turn as pale as a ghost upon hearing it, but he took everything in stride. I mean, he wasn’t happy about it, but he wasn’t feeling down either. That’s so admirable of him. He seems like a strong man, so I know that he’ll pull through this. His attitude has actually made all of us deal with him and everyone else’s condition positively, too. It made us realize that it would help them a lot if we were strong for them. Needless to say, we’re helping each other power through the challenges with optimism. It seems the experience has brought the family closer together. With all the effort, my father’s condition worsen and he passed away so soon. Despite the painful lost, we still remember him a strong man and trying to live for his family. I was also the last person that talked to while in a state of coma to let go. Everything would be fine and his family will be taking good care of me. Then, his heart fluctuates as my teary eyes broke down when the monitor showed flat line. It was a relief for him and he will never feel the pain anymore. It was a heartbreaking situation and eventually, we accepted his fate and we still offer prayers for him.

@softbabe44 We always cling to something if in times feeling so sad. Inspire of what makes life colorful along the journey. But, it is not to dwell in misery.
