unseen

received word today that my maklong passed away.

i try not to keep count, coz it drains and bleeds me dry. but here it is:
i've lost two aunts, an uncle, a grandmother, and a granddad, all while i am away.
who's to say there won't be more...

and my father is of very poor health now.
he last saw me almost a decade ago.
next - is nearer to never.
