Frankie was a 1940s film star in another life.

One of Frankie’s happy places was sitting in Euna’s lap. Despite all the cuddling and kneading she gives to me, my lap has never really been a sufficient substitute. Until today. She’s resting here. Quite content.
I can’t give her everything she needs, but at least I could give her this.

Very early morning start. Farewell, Seoul and hello, Uljin! For a couple of hours.
Looking forward to performing outside for a book festival, hoping rain doesn’t stop play…

Searching for something heart healthy in Gongdeok for lunch.
Settled on sushi. Perhaps not the perfect healthy choice, but at least no meat, no oil and only a little soy sauce.

Last night’s unexpected guest in the laundry room. I welcome most creatures, not centipedes though.

Also, I have had hummus topped with lamb and freshly made pita bread from Petra, so I’m a happy full boy.

Opening night at the opera! Proud to have worked on this revival of last year’s brilliant production. I wish Euna could have seen it.

Spending my afternoon here. Nine hours of beautiful music and blocking. I will sit and make notes and then occasionally shout at the singers during breaks.

First sketch in a while. Now realizing I can’t show them to Euna anymore. The biggest supporter of my art is gone. Frankie remains. Loudly.

We’re coming to the end of this long journey. At 10.00 this morning we will say a final goodbye and then I will return home with Euna’s remains. We promised that later she will return to nature. No point being trapped in an urn for eternity. From dust we came and to dust we return.

A short while ago Euna passed away, surrounded by her family.
Euna, I love you so much. I’m so glad you were born and that I was blessed with 25 years with you. Arthur waits at the rainbow bridge. Frankie and I will stay strong and live for you.
You will be in my heart forever. I love you. 사랑해요.
