The Passing of Pop Culture
The Final Goodbyes
Staying with Z in hospice care was like sailing across a misty lake. You knew your boat would hit land at some point, you just didn’t know when. 
I had signed the DNR forms the following day after our meeting with the Neuro team. They said we’d see a change within 24 hours. Nothing changed. She was still in and out of consciousness. I figured that the 24 hour time frame was a precaution just in case she did expire that quickly. 
Z.’s mom, dad and sister Rizza stayed at the hospital to keep vigil. Xavier and I got a hotel room, about a seven minute drive from the hospital. He was done for the school year so I wanted him close by. Ever since our Florida trip, he’s grown an infatuation for staying in hotel rooms. 
Tumblr media
During the days at the hospital, Xavier kept himself occupied with his Ipad and repeated visits to the cafeteria and vending machine. For me, it was a rotation of take-out food, fiddling with my phone, board games with my cousins, and writing on the laptop. 
I did, however, get a chance to read When Breath Becomes Air, a memoir by Paul Kalanithi. Kalanithi--a young, up and coming Neurosurgeon was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer in 2013. He died in 2015 at the age of 37. 
This was the 2nd attempt to read it. I tried reading it back in October but I failed to get beyond the first few pages since they were emotionally taxing. Z was still on remission and I didn’t want to open up pandora’s box by reading someone’s cancer memoir. 
Now, since Z was in hospice care and I was already experiencing a wide range of emotions, reading this book came easily. What struck me most about reading his memoir was that not only was he a Neurosurgeon, but also was well versed in classic literature. Since he couldn’t practice Neurosurgery anymore, his back up plan was to write a book. He also wrote it while undergoing chemo. I imagined him struggling and fighting for as much time as he could to get whatever he wanted to express down while his body as his body took the beating. Another story of someone who dedicated their life to saving others, but couldn’t save themselves. 
On the 2nd week of Hospice care, Z. became less and less responsive. Her friends, family and co-workers continued to visit her even though she could no longer acknowledge their presence. 
Many of the faculty wearing the gray t-shirts in honor of Z. I was touched. My wife was being loved by the people closest to her in her room, but also being revered by the people who didn’t know her in the hallway. 
Tumblr media
When the sun set on Friday, June 21st, I kissed her goodbye and took Xavier back to the hotel. Trepidation sunk in my gut. I feared that would be the last time I saw her breathing. 
I was restless that night. I kept on waking up, glancing at my phone--worrying that I had missed the phone call that she had just passed. But, by God’s grace, I didn’t. 
I was already awake when Z.’s mom called. It was just before 8:00AM. She said to come early. Xavier sprung up from bed. He grabbed a muffin and an OJ for breakfast and we rushed to the hospital. 
When we got there, the doctor was listening to Z.’s heart rate. He told us maybe a couple more hours. 
Z passed within an hour. 
Seeing the confused look on Xavier’s face, I felt the need to explain to him what had transpired. I took Xavier to a private room down the hallway. No explanation was really needed. He kind of already knew, at least what his five-year old mind understood anyway. 
“It’ll just be me and you?” he asked.
“Yes. Just me and you. Like Kratos and Atreus.” 
And like the boat that Kratos and Atreus sailed, we had hit land. We had crossed the misty lake. 
The Nurses Honor Guard and The Funeral
On the night of the viewing, the all volunteer Nurses Honor Guard came and paid tribute to Z.’s service. Like the Night’s Watch, her watch had ended. 
Tumblr media
We buried Z on Thursday, June 27th at Forest Hill Cemetery in Ann Arbor, MI. The sun was out with no dark cloud to be seen, much like the day she died. 
As a final gift to her, I placed her Mulan Funko Pop in the casket, saddened that she won’t be able to see the upcoming Live-Action remake.
Tumblr media
The Passing of Pop Culture
I’ve only started the mourning process.  To some extent, I had inured myself to the loss. Z had spent much of the last two months in the hospital that her not being around the house was nothing new to me. 
The busyness of dealing with the funeral arrangements along with her assets had kept me float, only weeping in those quiet moments when I realize she’s no longer in this world. 
For me, 2019 will be remembered when many great things came to an end. Game of Thrones. The end of the MCU Infinity saga. There’s also the ending of the Star Wars Trilogy in December. Even The Walking Dead comic series just ended (issue #193). On a side note, Stan Lee passed on Z.’s last birthday (November 12th).
So I guess in some ways, it’s appropriate that Z. should pass during the end of these pop culture events. 
TV critics Matt Zoller Seitz and Alan Sepinwall ranked the Simpsons as the number one tv show of all time. As consumers of pop culture, we’ve taken that show for granted much like a household utility. Sure, the critics admit the show has overstayed its welcome for at least the last ten years--but those first ten years are unequivocally classic television. 
Maybe, I should look at my marriage in that way--it was like The Simpsons before it started to suck. 
I’m saddened that I won’t be able to share any more pop culture experiences with my wife. I’m sad that we won’t play more board games together with my large extended family. I’m sad that Xavier and I will celebrate Halloween and Christmas without her. I’m sad that the world won’t have a Raziel Dizon Tungol. 
Yet, I’m also heartened that (however brief) our life together was unquestionably and truly wonderful.

One last pic of these guys all together, I'm just so happy with how they've turned out, originally I was gonna just do Gilbert but it felt wrong to not do Oz and Alice, then I got hooked and now more PH characters are in the works. I really hope you guys like seeing these as much as I like making them 😊😘

Pandora Hearts Upcoming Customs/WIP 🐝 🐝 🐝
Tumblr media
We're at the half-way point in the PH custom journey
Here are some more characters that I'm hoping to start turning into customs next year 🤞
I currently have 9 characters complete, 2 wip, and these are 9 more, but I want to do 24 in total as that's the total amount of volumes.
Ada and Oscar are likely characters, but I haven't found any decent looking funko templates yet, so they are on the shelf for now
Hope you're all enjoying these customs as much as I love making them.
It's a slow process, but PH is a series I hold very close to my heart, and I want to take my time perfecting the characters and making them look as close to Jun Mochizuki's creations as possible
I'm currently working on a Good Omens custom and then will enjoy the festive month
See you all next year for more exciting Pandora Hearts Customs
🐰 🪶 🍖 🎩 👠 📃 ✂️ 🐻 🐱
