Bittersweet Day
Jan 3rd 2010greenbucksThoughts
We went to home to pay our last respects to our granduncle who passed away.
While spending time with my relatives yesterday, I saw boxes and boxes of tiles in my grandaunt’s kitchen. I thought these will be used for the cemetery but it seems like they were building an apartment complex to be used for renting.
Anyway…
It was a bittersweet day for me, listening to my grandaunt ask me to stay for lunch when the day was almost over makes me long to cry in front of her. I can’t of course because I know that if I do so, all the more that she will feel sad.
I do not particularly like the thought of getting old but I know all of us will go that way. I know I have to make the most while I still got time to enjoy life and living it to the fullest.
On our way home, we did something unusual. I was not able to enjoy it the way I would have wanted to but the fact that the children loved what we did makes me happy too.
