Father

June 17, 2023

Twenty-two years ago, 

I found myself in a hospital room, 

gazing at the ceiling through my blurry eyes. 

I had heard people saying that 

when someone passes away, 

their soul ascends and 

observes the world from above. 

Although I couldn't catch a glimpse 

of my father's spirit 

on that particular day, 

if he was indeed watching, 

his gaze would have 

undoubtedly met mine.
