I've never been good at goodbyes. Right now, I can feel the life force drain out of me. The last thing I'll see is my child smiling at me. Mamarou, take care of mama for me, okay? She can be a handful sometimes but she's your mother. A beautiful, intelligent, woman whom I fell in love with. You might not understand it now but you soon will. Sasumi, you have given me the greatest gift of all and that was chance to live again. Around you, it was home and I couldn't have asked it for it any other way. You were the reason I forced myself to do many things I had given up on doing when I was diagnosed with cancer. I love you, Sasumi, Mamoru more than life itself. I'll be waiting, don't come too soon okay?
Love,
Papa
