My paternal grandfather, pictured in the Five W’s post, has 4 sons and 1 daughter. The 4 sons, my father and uncles, immigrated to Canada in the 80’s. Although they worked hard to move to Canada and build a life for themselves and their families their hearts are and will always be in Punjab. A common photo found in all of the 4 sons’ and daughter’s home is of their dad (my grandfather) relaxing on his farm. One of my uncles used to say, it is heaven. My father always longed to return to the Khaeth (Punjabi for Farm).

While visiting my father’s house I went to visit the family farm and came across the same wooden bench from 30 some odd years ago. I decided to pay a tribute to my grandfather.
