day 1

he passed away in the morning, everything was too fast. 

went down to ubi after dinner and sat for few hours.

i heard that my niece cried and asked why do they need to burn the body.

she's too young, it was her grandfather.

and it was the first time i saw tears in my father's eyes.

he said to go look at him again because i will never have the chance in the future.

my uncle asked for a simple funeral because his 3 daughters are not buddhist,

and so to save trouble. he wanted a sea burial, which will take place this sunday,

and it happens to be my birthday.

i was disappointed when i had to push back my plans, 

that was really how i felt, i don't want to lie. 

but afterall, he is still my uncle, one i respect.
