Heritage
Jack doesn’t talk much about his heritage or what it means to him. I’ve come to think that it doesn’t mean as much to him than mine does to me. Wow that sounds so snotty, but that’s honestly what I’ve concluded. Recently though he has dropped random things my way that make me step back and reanalyze my conclusion. He mentioned the Taiwanese festival in Toronto a month ago, and the other day he talked about mooncakes. It may not seem like much but this is the most that I can he has done…really. His parents aren’t big on a lot of Chinese traditions, which is fine. But could it be that Jack is starting to take more interest in his heritage or was I quick to dismiss his silence? Hmm…I hope I can learn more about his heritage through him than through wiki. I am definitely going to attend the Taiwanese festival next year.

I think it’s good that he’s interested a bit more in his heritage. It’s an important thing. I think going to the festival will be pretty nice for you both.
