Something for today
Hello to all my beloved visitors, I am grateful for your continued support.
I have found out that my real grandmother died the other day at the age of 101. When my sister told me about it, my instant reaction was whose grandmother, You see, I was adopted and I never knew my real family and I only knew my real sister 10 years ago so we still have that gap in between. My sister ask me how I feel, I could not answered her, I just said I don't know.
How do you mourn for the person you never know? This question lingers throughout the night while trying to feel and connect to my grandmother that I never knew I have. I burn incense and lit a candle in recognition of her. I did felt a very faint smell, quite unusual so I took it as my grandma's presence but it disappear quickly. This incident shows that I really don't have any connection to my real family which quite sad. I felt that they never think about me all these years.
