My wife had dementia… She got it unusually early on in life.

But still, I didn’t foresee this coming…

At the wake…

“I’m so sorry for your loss.”

Joonmyun:”Thank you for coming.”

My wife was once a warm, virtuous, capable wife and mother.

She loved her family more than anything and raised our kids well.

Even after developing dementia, she struggled hard to be her previous self.

Accordingly to what the police had said, she died due to suffocation of smoke during the fire. She was trapped and could not escape. The police also mentioned about the discovery of her fingerprints all over the front door…

She may not have known that she just needed to unlock the door to escape or that she could have called for help.

Why… cant I shed a single tear?

I haven’t been fulfilling my duties well as a husband. Being a busy business man, I struggled to become a family man like most people.  Even after all the years we lived together, there were no heartfelt memories…

Ultimately, I was just living to work.
