This needs more attention! Its amazing!

Oh, this is so beautiful and painful all at once! I have no idea what happened to him. Was it that the seahorse was his father? Or somehow related to that? Can't tell - but it encompasses something for me. My own father always paid all attention to work, or his hobbies. If you got his attention, you regretted it. His life's work is something that many admire, but not his own children. Because, while it's known in certain circles, it was all encompassing, and we were merely in the way of his interests and achievements. A few years ago, when it looked like he might have to give up independence, I said how did he want to handle that? His response was it's only a hobby. I got quiet. If he could give up that hobby so easily with no regret, then what were we to him? Because we'd always come after his hobbies. As if we were in the way. When I watched this, it felt like my father's life's work, and what it will mean for him in the very end.

Великолепно. Царю природы полезно лишний раз подумать о своем истинном месте в цепочке😊

[@VINLINZ]

it's meaningful🎉 the seahorse refers to the hippocampus in the brain. can I think that is a progress of memory recovery? or Alzheimer's disease.
