Qing Ming

It's Qing Ming and it's time for us descendants to pay respect to our passed away elders. Early in the morning, I drove my parents to the cemetry to pay respect to my grandparents who passed away when I was still quite young. I can vaguely remember how they looked like. As usual we cleaned the tomb area with solemnity. There was a lot of weedings to be done too and those weeds were really tenacious to be pulled away. Barely half on hour through, I was already perspiring as the morning sun was hot by this time.

We finished the two tombs before noon time and I was really thirsty. I feel that I was sunburned too by my arms and face. Well, we had a good lunch later and while I reached home, I was really tired. Had a bath and I slept like a log!
