I got home late last night. I did the same as I do every Tower Festival; I left early in the morning and went to Father's grave.
There, after making a small offering to him, I spoke to him my grievances. Most of them involved my sisters...and their age. I spent the entire day out there, just thinking and occassionally eating from the picnic I brought.
I have a hard time remmebering Father. He died when I was so young after all, and Morgause and the others were more in charge of my upbringing than he was since he was stationed in a military base far from where he felt was the best place for me to be raised. I do remember though...a solitary memory of him coming to visit and lifting me up high as a small child, a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye...
He was a noble man who wanted to best for me. It was his maemory that strove me to become a Servant. That's why I find solace in coming to him about my griefs during the Tower Festival even though he has moved on from this world. It...makes me feel as if I am making up for all the time I couldn't spend talking to him growing up, it starts to feel like a more personal, father-daughter bond, even though his face gets harder and harder to remember each year.
I like to think he likes my visits too.
Anyways I'm not sure what I am doing today for the Sun Festival. I have a swimsuit but...to be honest I don't know if I will wear it or even go...
