It would be disappointing not to give her a good, befitting burial.

My dad then took his phone and first called his sisters, but to be sincere with you, I still don't really know their names, even till today.

I know them, though, but their names just don't stick in my head. I hope in the future, they do stick.

"Why are you crying, Dad? Why are there so many tears in your eyes?"

My dad said, "Nothing, son, I just finished cutting onions."

I laughed and said, "Then onions are stronger than you."

My dad laughed too and said, "Yeah, onions are tough. Go and play outside with your brother, okay?"

I replied, "Okay, daddy, I won't let him beat me."

My dad smiled and watched me go out to play.
