My Dear Ancestors

Hi, how are you? Grandpa, grandma and great-grandma? It's been a year since the last time I paid you guys a visit. I know you might be watching me as I am typing now. I don't mind having a guardian angel :)

I remember, the first time I visited your graves was when I'm a teen (14 or 15 years old). Feeling excited and with great anticipation, I set to wake up around 4:30am and be prepared like a G.I. Jane. I never get a chance to meet you (mum and dad didn't produce me earlier) and this became the reason beyond doubt, to step into the cemetery. Besides, who do you think would go to a graveyard in any other time of the year and at such crazy hours? :P

You know, I need to practice my detective skill, looking for your tombstones. But luckily, it ended well. By the end of the day, I feel that I am more connected to my 'roots'. Without your courage to come to this land, I won't be here. Without your determination to survive, I won't be here either. Thanks to you, I am here. See you again next year (I will be scanning for code this time).
