While working on what would be his final painting, a self-portrait, Amos suffered a massive stroke. After months of recovery and therapy, Amos went back to finish the painting he started, only to realize that the affects of the stroke were permanent and his painting career was over. 

Amos decided to title the painting, "Unfinished". He accepted that the painting itself was finished but that he, himself was unfinished. 

The stroke, which permanently affected his ability to paint, represents a turning point in Amos's life, forcing him to confront the reality of his condition and adapt to a new normal. Despite the disappointment of not being able to finish his final work of art as he envisioned, Amos's resilience shines through in his acceptance of the situation and his refusal to let it define him.

In embracing the unfinished aspects of his life, Amos embodies a spirit of perseverance and optimism, demonstrating that even in moments of despair, there is always the potential for renewal and transformation. His story serves as a poignant reminder of the human capacity to find beauty and purpose in the midst of adversity, inspiring others to embrace their own unfinished journeys with courage and resilience.
