Couldn't hold back my tears. I visited my grandpa in 2012 and it's been almost 4 years. He had Alzheimer's when I was met him already. Luckily my mother went back to the country to visit him.
Family went to a ceremony hosted by mom's religious worship place. Yeah, tears and boogers just droop down.
This was the second "funeral" I went to this month. The other was at dad's friend's husband.
Reflections
He died at 92 and was really healthy anyways so it was a noble death. I wouldn't be were I am today without my grandparents or parents. I just tried to imagine the legacy he left behind. Trying to remember what i can of him. I didn't get to know him well since we had to move to America and I was very young. It's sad to think what my mother has to go through as she left her whole family back in the country to come to America. She has to suffer and work hard to raise the big family in addition to my father who worked two jobs. Man, being comfortable is really bad as I forget what my parents and forefather went through for me to be in such a good position today compared to how they lived back then.
