Narrative- Revisiting My Homeland
I recalled about four and half years ago I visited my homeland. My homeland is my birth country Guyana in South America. It was the first time time I'm returning after so many years. Where I will be meeting my extended family I really didn't know too well. In my 2,000 miles journey with my family it was very adventurous seeing the huge rainforest. This was when I was in the plane after five hours about to touch down in Guyana. When I reached and came out of the airport. I saw my uncle and drivers were ready to transport us. It was very emotional to actually see my family after so long. No one knew how I felt after so many years walking the earth soil of my birth country Guyana. I was being treated with respect and loyalty. My family was well taking caring off in Guyana. I got to meet new family members and as well cousins I was introduced too by my mom. During this trip my family carried my grandfather ashes that died over a year ago to Guyana. The ashes were washed out into the river called the Essequibo River in Guyana where he belongs. My family made a noble decision in bringing his ashes when we came to Guyana. Therefore, we can perform the religious function we intended to do while we were in the village of my grandfather birth place. After that more and more family members came down to help out from other cities located in Guyana. No one know how emotional I was in being with family that I don't talk to in my daily life. Words couldn't express the emotions that was in my mind during that time. It was a great experience revisiting my birth country Guyana.
