Found

Via email, I just found my lost elder sister. It sounds funny, but it's true.

I don't know how to articulate this more clearly, but we have been disconnected for about 3 or 4 years. Last time I saw her was in her apartment with her husband 5 years ago, last time I talked to her was 4 years ago, and last time I sent her email was 2 years ago while I haven't heard from her for years. You will ask how a family can become like this for years. Yes, the answer is quite simple: we weren't like a family since I was 18. Then what really happened to cause this? Well, simply the death of my father and my study in America. In fact, there are lots of things that I don't even wanna touch because it brings up some painful memories that I don't even believe that happened.

Finally, I got an email from my sister again, and today, another one with her phone number. So, I made a phone call and talked to her. I was so happy to see her email arrived and hear her voice from the phone. It proves that I still have family back in Taiwan and they know me and share the same mempry in my childhood. Yet, the sad part is that I have to face that they are not still good wealth. I can just image the environment they live from what she told me must be shaddy. The one that I don't wish I would have. Although she kept telling me that she has a much better life than before, I still can't stop thinking that if she made a better decision, she will be much better now. However, this is what life is all about. She also told me her philosophy that how she handled the situation she faced. What can I say to all of this? I should say that I should be happy what I have now and enjoy the life I have because some day when someone takes all thses away, I will be crying out loud.

It was a nice talk with her after 5 years and see her still happy. Well, I believe that she is happy how she gets used to the life she has, but not happy how the world treats her. Yes, this is the right way to say it. By the way, I got to talk to her little 4 years old boy. Gosh, I suddently felt that I am not young anymore, and I cound't stand the childish talk because it hurts in some way. It's like they are so innocent that this is not what they deserve, but the fate is this is what you got to face it. So, by the end of the conversation I told, please give good education to your children because I believe this is the only few ways can change their lives forever.

So, I am looking forward to the time when I get back to Taiwan and visit them: my family!
