Had dinner with my parents, sister and brother-in-law near my studio last night. In our conversations, we shared our memories of late Mr. Kot who passed away on Christmas Eve. Apparently, my dad had known this good friend since 1986, that’s more than 30 years of friendship! As for me, my earliest memory of Mr. […]

Mourning… (end)
It was about this time last week when my uncle passed away. I’ve since started a week long mourning by avoiding any kind of social gatherings including Sunday worship, calligraphy class, and fellowship.

Mourning…
Called up my calligraphy teacher to tell him of my absence tomorrow morning; Messaged my fellowship committee to inform them of my absence this Friday evening. I think I could really use some time to mourn of my uncle’s death. I’m still sad (with some regrets too) and easily sobs when I think of the things […]
