This one is easy, that person would be my paternal grandfather. As he died before I could even make have a proper, recallable memory in my mind, he died of al the complications associated with the health issues he had. I'm not trying to be vague about what has happened to him, but it's more a fact that I don' know what he really died of. One minute I hear he died of complications related to diabetes, and the next it's cancer. So well, I guess I've got cancer in my genes, as my uncle died of one form as well.
Well other than finding out about what's in my genes, and the potential high risk regarding certain diseases, I would've also liked to know more about his side of the family and the history behind it. From what my dad can tell me, he was from Sri Lanka, apparently brought to Singapore because he was part of the British troops. His family were tea farmers and had quite a bit of a plantation going on. Who knows, I might be actually related to Dilmah?
Another thing I found out was that he was good with sewing and cooking So maybe my sis and I just didn't get our interests from our parents, but it could have been higher up from the family tree.
So much things to learn with no one to give my the answers.
