How Do You Apologize to the Dead?

[gemini_604]

I wanted to share this with everyone: I got an email from both my mother and my grandfather yesterday. (It reminded me how much I love and miss them!) Grandpa’s was short kinda short. It warned me that there are a couple more people on the dig, one of them being a friend of Dr. Denauve’s, and for me not to worry about making up work because I’ve

(ooc: *picked up on the hint* Hey, you know my personal journal Nyami_Rose1? Could you go there and comment on the newest entry? It has nothing to do about what I wrote in my newest entry; it's that I want to give you something and I can't do it here. Also, good job with the LJ-cut! ^_^)

*smiles* I'm glad you've sorted this all out. That dream must have made you feel better- I can see it in your face! I know how you feel about your uncle Yugi. I mean, everybody has some one they 'hate'. For me, it was the Pharaoh. For over 5 years I hated him, and in th end it was for something he didn't do. You know the story quite well, so I don't need to get detailed, but I did everything to get revenge, to hurt, to make sure Atem felt how much I hated him.

But you know what? There was someone else who I hated even more than Atem. (No it isn't myself, though that's a possible answer) It was my Father. I hated him. He hurt me, beat me, cursed my life, and forced me to walk a path that would turn me into a monster just like him.

But even so... I love him. Without him I wouldn't be here. Also, if he wasn't who he has, I would have never been a tombkeeper. I know that if it wasn't me, and maybe Father had another son, I'm sure that son wouldn't have done what I did. He would have stayed, shut off from the world, and Atem would still be wandering around without any knowlage of his past.

Your uncle- your mother's brother- He never gave you reason to like him, from what you've told me. Now, if someone covers up the good inside them, and only shows the bad, then what else is there to do but hate them? People don't have x-ray vision- we can't see some one heart if they hide it. It's not your fault you never saw anything to thankful for in your uncle- he never showed anything to be thankful for!

It was never your fault for hating your uncle- which is what makes my story different then yours- but now you care for him and that's what matters. And because of that dream, you know your uncle knows you care for him. Just another happy ending, right? *laughs* They seem to follow you around.

"Follow me around?" Boy, I hope so!

Thank you for sharing, Malik. Strange isn't it, how circumstances could change if bad/hurtful decisions weren't made? I'm really glad you and I are friends now. And hey, happy endings are coming for you, too! You got Mariku back and you're getting a better job! ^_^

[milleniumkeeper]

Hmm, yeah. I guess your right. Things have been alright lately- which is a real change since thing always seem to go wrong for me- especially in this city. *glances out the window and sees police officers trying to arrest a group of terrorists that are waving thier guns around while a bomb goes off on the other side of the city*

-_- I love Cairo *sarcasm*

OMG please be careful.

[milleniumkeeper]

Don't act so shocked! This happens everyday. In fact today wasn't as bad as it usually is! *laughs*

[sammytech]

As long as you don't get hurt.

[milleniumkeeper]

*waves hand dismissivly* Stop worrying. I've gotten this far! Besides, it's getting a bit safer around here. It used to be way worse about 2 years ago.

[sammytech]

Ok.
