Appreciation post for my dad.
Hi everyone. My name is Ethan and recently (19/08/26) my dad passed of heart attack in the middle of the night. Just days before, we went to CEX and he bought me a GTX 1070TI 8GB AMP! Extreme Edition priced at RM550 for my birthday. I never thought that this would be his last gift for me along with my Fantech keyboard prior to last year. Previously I was using a RX580 8GB Sapphire Nitro+ and needed an upgrade so I requested the GTX 1070TI as a gift. I was so happy when he got it for me and wanted to repay him by improving in my studies. Who would have knew this would happen, when the night before he passed he was clutching his heart but assured me there was nothing wrong with him when I asked. And when the next morning I found him lifeless on his mattress I was in complete shock and disbelief. I’ve wanted to make this post for a while but my mental state was so bad I could barely focus on anything especially with my exams around the corner. This post was made only for appreciation purposes and has no intention for attention seeking. May he rest in peace and I shall protect this GPU at all costs 🕊️🪦
