He is Masahiro Yamagishi, 55 years old, was a stage 4 Lung cancer patient.
He is my father. As he passed away after five months doctor dropped a terrifying news in our life.
My mother has to send me to Manila after they got divorced when I was a child.
From then on, I lived my life in the land where my mother is born, in the Philippines. Only a few pictures and some stories of relatives is the only thing I know about him since then. I had no news or update to what happened to my father when they split apart.
On February 2011, luckily after 15 years. I came to Nagoya and see each other again. One of the first things I noticed is what my mother is telling me is true, he really truly is a hard smoker. His favorite cigarette never changed.
Personally, I don't smoke and I find it disgusting. I've had a personal experience on it, because of peer pressure, when I was 15 years old. Only I just hit it once and throw it up in the trashcan. I never liked it, not once.
