Life had been a long journey filled with trials. However, the last years had been like bittersweet agony, and so many times he had wished for his suffering to finally come to an end.
Now that moment had arrived. The final labored breath and a sigh of relief.
They, the silent ones, were already here. They had come to take him to where his ancestors, friends, and loved ones were already waiting. To the realm of the dead, into the embrace of eternity. There he would finally rest, sinking into peace.
