"I like to believe that the light of those special people never truly dies; it lives on through us, in our memories, our thoughts, our words and our actions."

Hey, that comment really made me tear up. Thank you, @westley-nash. That's what I want to believe in too, that even though special people, like our fathers, have left our earthly lives, they will still continue to live through us. Their legacy will live on through the stories we tell, and through the unforgettable things they did in this world.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I don't know who your father was, but I know he also left a mark in this world, and a great imprint to the hearts of many people whom he loved. I also know that he's proud of you, for being so brave to face such circumstances in life. My condolences, too. I can relate so much with you, because my father also did not want to live on by the use of the machines, that's why he wanted to end the suffering as early as the doctors can.

I know our lives now are a lot different than the time we still had our fathers by our sides, but you're right, life will go on. We just have to continue living each day with great hope in our hearts.

I pray that our fathers will find light and peace wherever they are now.
