Part I
Around 1 pm we went to the cemetery to visit the tomb of my father-in-law. 1st Anniversary—13 September. He was an incredible man. He was a devoted husband to my mother-in-law. They were married for over 55 years. He had 9 children (2 deceased), sixteen grandchildren and two great-grandchild. He loved his family, and seemed to get more loving every day.
As for me, it was a joy to watch him held and cuddled my kids. I didn't regret much for throughout his life, we spent ample time with him. The kids were attached to him. He would look forward for weekends and that's where sets of families would gather accompanied with foods. He would be the 1st to greet us at the front door with his loving smile. He asked what's in the bag or container and ushered us to the kitchen where the aroma of his unsweetened coffee awaited. He sat there waited patiently for the freshment to be served. He would sip his coffee with a remark "a'aahh nadai asai kopi tuk..., uji meri ku gula mimit Indai sha.." He would ask for 1/2 teaspoon but I would put 2 teaspoons..I knew he liked it that way and he knew I knew that..so, when it's coffee time..his eyes would search for me ..(no one knew till that day)
The weather was gloomy but at least it did not rain.
