Before hunting for shadows, I'd like to give you a small story about why today's post. Lately i have suffered many family loss. So much to an extend i feel like whenever i scroll through my cell phone contacts, it felt like every swipe i will have 1 number needed me to delete a contact because they're recently passed away.
Deep down in my heart, i know when we grow older, chances are people surrounding us starting to leave this world. Watch star trek before? The iconic Vulcan greeting - live long & prosper. Ring any bells? That's because Vulcan can live longer than earthlings. Well, to me it sounded more live long to see people die.
Lately i helped to send off one of my closest aunt. She's the older sister of my dad. They're very close siblings. My dad passed away in 2023 Novemeber due to cancer, and we'd never thought my aunt will be going to heaven to visit her lil brother (my dad) 15 months later.
Due to the festive season, there's not much relatives came for the funeral. My cousin sister is the only child of my aunt, i felt the obligation to take this funeral as my own business, to help completing and sending my aunt off for the final journey.
Below are the photos I've taken at the temple at the memorial park. I wish i can let you hear the chants, experience the chill from the wind, and see some reclection amd shadows. Sun is not too strong that day, kinda gloomy and therefore do not have solid shadow. So, here we go...
I miss my dad. Now with my aunt gone, i felt the kind of emptiness whenever i drive by her house. The final photo was NOT a mistake shot, as i was trying to find my own shadow.
