progressive drawing, developing ghost line: Father and Mother summer 2019 Sapporo
I have started to draw my father while he exercises his brain several years ago.. my father was teaching math until he retired, he played tennis, enjoyed karaoke. He even tried computer... we used to be able to Skype from his PC that he could even reconfigure it...
My mother and I noticed his Forgetfulness almost ten years ago. The Forgetfulness that happened one too often became noticeable, which lead to the hospital visit. About six years ago or so, My mother decided to coordinate his brain & physical exercise in the morning, while she prepares breakfast. Throughout the day, my mother watches him over.
Forgetfulness is not easily fixed; it takes about 25 years that the Forgetfulness to take over the control of a human being. It is difficult to cure, but by exercising the brain and physically using muscles, it can be paused or dramatically slow down.
Since its Forgetfulness,,, it's difficult for one to exercise, my mother is very dedicated to pausing my fathers' Forgetfulness.
