So, I heard today is Mother's day. Question and advice.

How to...how do you honor your mother? What should I do? I was thinking of getting flowers.

Tradition abides prayer and incense.

[lanofsizhui]

The other Sizhui and Jin Ling is going to show me how.

[Because juniors with similar tradegies]

Do you have any incense you can share?

1/2

[downswing]

As required.

[downswing]

Will that suffice?

[lanofsizhui]

[He knows he isn't asking for much, but he has much gratitude.]

Thank you, I got it. I will burn it properly.

[downswing]

( Not his question to ask. Hardly his place. And yet: )




May I assist you?

[lanofsizhui]

Yes, of course! Your guidance is needed. If you can show us the proper way.

I'm going to get flowers first. I think my mother would like that.

[It doesn't have to be a somber occasion. Just a day of remembrance.]

[downswing]

What do you recall of her?

[lanofsizhui]

Not a lot. I was only three years old. I only recall her face, her hands, walking by her side, and looking up at her and being held by her.

[A three-year-old won't be able to recall much. It wasn't long enough to remember.]

I think Senior Wen Ning and Wen Qing may know her name, cousins by relation.

[downswing]

Ask kindly of Wen Ning. He lost much.

[lanofsizhui]

I'll ask him kindly.

What did he lost?

[downswing]

Life. People.

[lanofsizhui]

Not easy, I'm sure. But can be regained if rebuilt together.

[downswing]

He is yours to claim.
