||Memories in the Rain||
I was born on the 2nd Sun of the 3rd Astral Moon. It was said that the moment I was born, it started to rain. My mother passed away. My adoptive hyur mother Colette said, it was my mother's tears from not being able to see me. I sometimes wonder what life would be like if she survived. I wonder if life would be different.
On one hand, I prefer warm sunny days that soothe my soul and remind me to keep living on. On the other hand, rainy days..remind me of the past. The rain reminds me of the people who are no longer of this world. As it rains as I run this errand today, I remembered all the loved ones I lost in the past.Â
Recently I found a clue to my past. It is a puzzle that I have been trying to solve for years. I knew bits and pieces of me mother from Colette who worked with her in the Weaver's Guild in Ul'dah. My adoptive family used to live in Ul'dah. Declan, my adoptive father tended to travel, but his older sibling was a well off and established man in Ul'dah, so they had a very nice place to stay in. Unfortunately that is not the case for many in Ul'dah.
I often walk around Ul'dah wondering if the tribe my parents were apart of walked these streets and wonder if there is anyone still around. I know my mother is no longer of this world, but my father is drawing a big blank. I do not know if he lives.
Recently I found a book while helping a customer who says he is a friend. I try not to easily call someone a friend, but Grissom is a kind person despite me thinking he was a thief at first. The book made me wonder what if there is a connection. The name of the author was I'yeh Nunh. My name is very similar to his. It made me wonder, so I wrote to Declan...my adoptive father who I avoided when I closed myself off to the world when my adoptive mother Colette was murdered.
He wrote back today which is why all these memories are coming back now. He asked me to forgive him for him being distant and cold towards me during a difficult time. His reaction to Colette's death led him to avoid home and work all the time as he couldn't bare to be in their homely house in the Black Shroud without his loving wife. I think I shall write him back with some gil for him and ask him to visit Amelia my adoptive sister and her husband Devin as they have their hands filled with twins! Can you believe it? Her first child is not one, but two...double the trouble I say!
Most importantly, he told me that he learned from Colette that my father and mother wanted to name me I'miya, but upon my mother's dying wishes she told Colette to raise me as their own and to make me a member of their family, but name me I'yehmiya in honor of my father. My father is named I'yeh!! Can you believe it...of all books I could of found...I found one written by him. I feel like I am getting closer to more answers about who I really am.
Unfortunately, Declan did clarify that the tribe I came from were staying in Ul'dah, but he knows not of what happened. The tribe was not well off, but they managed to survive modestly. He said there was some kind of inner rift between my father and another, but he knows not of the outcome of such things as he was never told. I secretly hope that he still lives, but I know now that that might not be the case...
If he lived, wouldn't he of found me by now?
I am one puzzle piece closer, but there are still pieces missing that tug at my soul.
Today, it rained a great deal. You will never be forgotten loved ones, especially the ones that I have never met...
