Grandfather: My child, do you see that?
Child: What is it Grandpa?
Grandfather: Look closer iho...
Child: Is that what I think it is?
Grandfather: No my child...
Child: Then what is it?
Grandfather: That my child is our land... The land of my grandfather, and the land of my grandfather's father...
Child: Will I ever get it Grandpa?
Grandfather: *falls asleep*
^That happens, well, happened, so much to me when I was young... Not the conversation about land but somehow like that... Talking about ancestors with gramps...
I suddenly missed my own grandpa... The times we played hide and seek and I was hiding... I spent so much time in my hiding place, then realizing that my gramps was already inside watching tv... I hated him then... now I miss it...
Playing chess with him was also an experience... I felt like a god consecutively beating him... Until I realized he purposely loses to make me happy...
It has been 8 years... half my life... It's been a long time... yet those things still burn in my mind... 8 years...
I regret not appreciating him when he was alive... I just considered him someone who brought me entertainment...
He's much more than that...
8 years...
