Sad

I received your death certificate today.

Looking at my name in the Informant section, I realized it was me who notified the nurse—you're gone.

Actually, that day, I had a vague feeling that you were leaving.

I turned on my computer and handed over all the work-related tasks. I also took the next day off and submitted my timesheet.

After arranging everything, I sat beside you and spoke softly to you for a while. Although you weren't responding, I still wanted to stay with you, to let you know I was always there.

I checked the time; it was already 2 AM.

After confirming you were still breathing, I told you I was going to sleep for a bit.

I woke up several times during the night to check on you, to make sure you were still there.

But your breathing was getting lighter and weaker.

Around 3 AM, I opened my eyes, looked at you, and said:

"Let me sleep a little longer, I'm so tired..."

I never imagined those would be the last words I would say to you.

I woke up around 4 a.m. and went to your side.

You weren't breathing.

I called for a nurse.

The moment the nurse pulled the curtain closed to check on you, I was overwhelmed with emotion.

That night, I was there for you on your final journey.

I notified our family, arranged for the children to be brought to the hospital so they could see their father one last time; I contacted Nirvana to arrange your funeral.

And from that day on, I became your children's only support.

We used to support this family together.

From now on, I'll have to shoulder it all alone.

I became a single mother.

This wasn't the identity I wanted, but it's a responsibility I must learn to bear.

You're finally free from pain and suffering.

But my challenges have only just begun.

The road ahead will certainly not be easy.

There will be times when I'm afraid, times when I break down, and times when I miss you terribly.

Many responsibilities that once belonged to us as a couple will now fall on my shoulders alone.

But for our child, I will persevere.

Because I know this is your biggest worry.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of things at home.

I'll take care of the child.
