This pain is just too real

this is a drawing I did after my dad had a heart attack. And I just really wanted to do a drawing to kind of get out my feelings and emotions, of course it was going to be a sad drawing. I had this reference photo from Hanratty-Stock.deviantart.com for a long time and thought it would be a perfect drawing. I really wanted to draw an angel too, cause I wish I could by my dads angel right now and save him and help him but I cant, and I feel so horrible that theres nothing I can do and Im really sad that I cant be there for him as I dont have the money to go home. I guess my dad is really depressed right now, his work is screwing him over and hes losing tons of money a month to a paycut, they think thats the reason he had a heart attack, stress from work. Its just weird, cause your parents are usually the ones doing good and with money and now all of a sudden they barely have enough money for food. It breaks my heart very much, I may find a way to send them some money soon though. I really wanted to add a heart in the drawing somehow and decided to just make a heart necklace. The title is from Evanescence's "My Immortal", my dad reallly loves that song and we actually danced to it at me and my husbands wedding. And I was just thinking of lyrics in the song and thought this line was perfect for how Im feeling.
