I haven’t been getting much sleep lately, but that’s fine. I love my girlfriend. Something great happened today. After a 11 hour work shift, I went to my girlfriend’s great grandmother’s funeral. I got a little lost trying to find the place and ran into what seemed to be a Russian church… I circled around again and finally found it. It smelled like cow on the outside, but that’s because their tradition calls for them to sacrifice cows. I felt very out of place as I walked inside. Everyone was a family member, except me and a couple others. I met an old friend there too. But the great thing was..
During part of the ceremony where direct family members were to bow down while holding this money stack to burn and pass on to the next life, my girlfriend’s dad asked me if I would like to join. I was so scared her parents wouldn’t like me, but after that… I felt so accepted. YES! I was dead tired the next day though. The ceremony lasts overnight. No family members were allowed to sleep, but I stayed up all night with my girlfriend. I just love being with her and I wanted to show their family respect. It was worth it.
