Heirlooms should be treasured, they bring back memories and keep the past alive and in touch. Thanks for sharing such a cherished memory of your ah kong, it's lovely.

Fortunately, I get to hear stories about them too from my parents (especially my dad's). And, every visit to my late grandfather's grave during Cheng Ming festival would seemed to be an unforgettable experience. Thanks for sharing the story.May God bless your Ah Kong's soul. Cheers!
