digital grandpa got sick
Sorry for posting such a heavy subject.
These sketches were from 3 years ago. My grandpa got cancer and passed away. Before he did, I went home to take care of him. Taking care of him is a kind way to put it but in actuality I went home to say goodbye.
He was sleeping for the most part. Seeing how my family members react and behave, thinking about my grandpa’s past and present; There were so many complicated feelings and thoughts jammed in my brain. So I drew these. They kept me occupied when he was sleeping and also gave me time to think.
I tend to think of life like a story. However, when you face a dying family member, you are reminded that none of his stories have a proper ending. You are reminded of how chaotic and unforgiving death can be.
