I didnt feel like writing up this condition yesterday because I was a bit overwhelmed with some of the things I learned yesterday. Last night, my brother, mom, and I went to SpaWorld lol. Thought it was gonna be a typical night but it got really deep in a weird way. For some reason, I've been longing to see my grandfather from my mom's side that passed away when I was young. When ever I pray to him, it's hard for me to connect because I never really knew what he was like. I remember some small memories here and there but nothing profound or anything. I asked my mom, "We always talk about dad's side grandpa but what about your father? How come you never told us stories about him?" All I knew was that he was True Father's cousin. Other than that I was pretty ignorant to what kind of person he was or what kind of a life style he led. Man was I in for a big surprise. True Father and my grandfather were born one year apart. They grew up as neighbors and were best friends. Apparently, they did everything together and my grandfather was in love with TF. Although TF wasnt my grandpa's real brother, my grandpa would always boast that TF was his hyung and that he was the best. My grandpa also knew that TF wasnt a normal human being. He would follow TF everywhere he went. You guys know the story about TF catching eels right? The guy who caught them with TF was my grandpa. It's actually really funny. Because eels are really slippery, they would go to the bottom of the river and catch them with their teeth. They would sneak up behind the eel and bite their tails and would pull them up. Also when you are in water, you float, so they would push each other down into the mud by stepping on each others necks haha like wtf. What if my grandpa drowned the messiah? But yeah, my mom told me many beautiful, painful, funny, and some controversial stories and even miracles that I had no idea about until yesterday! Apparently, I have an aunt and uncle I had no idea about... like wtf. I wonder what my grandpa is doing in spirit world. He's probably next to TF and are best friends again. When my grandpa died, TF came to our house in Korea. Didnt even know about that until yesterday... The reason why I wasnt told about this is something I won't go into. It's kinda messed up and something I dont think is appropriate to share for the sake of True Family and also my family. But yeah, I'm pretty shook and am trying to digest this. Spiritually I feel different. Feeling uncomfortable.

This picture explains it all haha. It's been a long time since I've seen my brother because he has been working down in georgia. It's incredible that we have something called family. Could you imagine NOT HAVING A FAMILY. That is WACK. But yeah, my brother is also a great brother. He worked all day on Friday and then drove up all the way to my university just to pick me up. AND HE LEFT AT 1AM. What a guy, am I right? What did I do to deserve such a MAN!? I remember looking back when family relations weren't good and reflecting on that, it's still better than not having a family. The concept of family truly defies the finite and confined limits of our physical world. It is something so spiritual and beautiful. But we all know, our lives and families could only be possible because of our one and only True Parents. Let's give a round of applause! But yeah, that's my short yet sincere and deep reminder about the luxuries of life. As True Father said, everything of true value in our lives has been given to us freely.

So yeah, let’s be more present and control the things we can. That way, we can be more grateful for the things that are right in front of us. 

Truly connecting to our roots also means to understand what part of the tree we are. Only until we realize our value as your children can we truly be limitless and absolute. I am your child. I am a child of God. WE are children of God. Let us recognize that every time we face a new dawn. Let us go gracefully.

As I write this post, I am eating Duke's Smoked Shorty Sausages, I am reminded and moved by the delicious taste of food, and I am truly grateful that I have something yummy to eat. This is the story of how I connected to True Parents and my gratitude to Heavenly Parents for their love.
