Today it is customary to remember your ancestors with love and affection. Today you recollect the start they gave you to come this far. You truly feel indebted and offer your prayer to God to keep them in peace for all that they gave you.
Receiving is rarely an unmixed blessing. When you receive without paying for it, you can hardly choose. But you can never get something without paying for it. You continue to pay for it through out. You carry their thoughts, mannerism, beliefs and what not. At times you feel bewildered to see you act in a manner without any logic - like a disease running in the family. You never know why you act in that manner and you never know why you carry that disease. Yet you carry it. Each time you try to shed it, it comes back with double vigor[like the myth of Sisyphus].
You carry the cross - the weight, pain and the pride and satisfaction. You pay your obeisance. You smile in pain and feel proud. You are the SON.
