It's Chinese Memorial time so my Dad, Norm and I went to visit my grandfather at Forest Hills cemetery today. We decided to go later in the afternoon thinking it wouldn't be so busy but were we wrong! It was packed - pretty amazing to see so many families following tradition. I saw some guy bring a small roast pig! Also there were still alot of snow so Dad was slipping trying to make his way to the grave.
We then went to visit Mom, yes we brought chicken, pastries, wine, oranges, her More cigs, and DD coffee. And burnt the fake $ and colorful paper. The whole nine yards. Every year I say I'm going to buy a tin pail so we don't have to use someone else trashed one. And every year I forget....I promise to do it next year!
My Dad and I then went to visit grams. And she was in a good mood. She and my Dad reminisced about China. I'd like to videotape him talking about his memories of the time he was left alone with Uncle Rob while grams was in prison. I'll post it as soon as I do it.
