Life goes on and I am here.

Things changed and happened to me for the last two months. But I am still here caught in this planet of crazy monkeys. Why am I still here when my wife died seven years ago and I am always feeling that I am in the wrong place and time? Because I have no direction in my life.

Since August 2011, even that became impossible. What tormented me for the last 20 months was lack of improvement in Heesun’s condition in spite of repeated attempts with new supplements. But what made my heart sink even more was that I could not have meaningful conversations with my wife who is getting far away from this world. In my fight against the disease, she was beside me physically, but she was not able to be there for me mentally. Even on her deathbed, I did not hear a single word from her mouth. I was so occupied with the fight tha...
