In the silence, I felt all those things I’d ever wanted to say to him forcing their way to the surface, words that had been a lifetime in the making. 침묵 속에서 내가 그동안 그에게 전하고 싶었던 모든 것들이 나오려고 했다. 수십 년 동안 쌓여온 말들이었다.

I’m sorry about all the crappy things I put you through, and I’m sorry that I was never here for you enough. You’re the best person I’ve ever known. You’re the only one who never got angry with me, you never judged me, and somehow you taught me more about life than any son could possibly ask. I’m sorry that I can’t be here for you now, and I hate myself for doing this to you. But I’m scared, Dad. I don’t know what else to do.”
It was the last time I ever saw him alive.

My dad died seven weeks later, and I was granted an emergency leave to attend the funeral.
