Over the past 2 weekends, Mark and I went to the temple, and it's something that we will continue to do for the next 2 weekends. It is the lunar seventh month now, aka Hungry Ghost Festival, and we continued on with the 'tradition' of last year where we had a tablet set up at the temple so that prayers and rites can be offered to the deceased, i.e. my two little Angels. According to Buddhist theology, these prayers and rites will supposedly help our deceased loved ones in their reincarnation process. I guess as their parents, this is the least we can do for Lucas and Chloe.
I leave the temple in tears after each visit. It just feels SO, SO wrong... It is SO wrong that I have to PRAY to my Angels instead of PLAY with them... It feels SO wrong that my Angels' names are on a tablet in a temple... It feels SO wrong that Mark and I have to 'visit' them in a temple...
