Earlier today I sent a picture of my nephew to a close friend, and he commented how peculiar my nephew's hair looked. His hair is indeed quite thin and matted on his head, quite unlike "normal" Asian babies, whose hair often grows "outward".
I hadn't really noticed before. The similarity, the resemblance with dad's hair is uncanny. I tried to describe dad's hair and how it was. But I could not find the words. I just could not find the words. I choked and tears started to fall. I broke and hung up the phone. I could not, simply could not continue the conversation any longer...
My nephew's hair looks and feels like my dad's, like the grandpa he never met.
Suddenly I have this urge to want to see my nephew... to want to be much closer to him.
