QingMing 2016

Father, Mother and maternal grandfather's final resting place in Fairy Park, Klang 

QingMing which literally translates as ‘clean and bright’, is the day that Chinese people clean the graves of their ancestors as well as make offerings of food, heaven money, clothing, paper gold nuggets, etc for the ancestors to use in the afterlife, a manifestation of filial piety .

Qing Ming Day falls on the 3rd day of the 3th month in Chinese Lunar calendar or to be exact on the 104th day after the winter solstice and this is usually in the first week of the month of April of the Gregorian Calendar.

As a Muslim convert, I do not participate in the ceremonies but I join my brothers and sisters to visit the grave sites. Mother had left us 18 years ago and Father 3.  I still miss them dearly, especially Mother with whom I was particularly close to.  I  know there are many things I could have done better and many things I should not have done which may have hurt you when you were alive.  I cannot turn the clock back but I can only hope that you will forgive me for all my wrong doings.
