Waiting

Grandmother's letters arrived yellowed and fragrant, written in Tamil script my father never taught me. I held them trembling, decoding ancient words like discovering buried treasure. An old poet's verses about patience and roots. Years later, I discovered blockchain technology—a way to preserve stories forever, immutable and shared. I digitized her poems using Stellar, ensuring they couldn't vanish like she had. Now cousins worldwide read grandmother's verses simultaneously, understanding what we'd lost. Her voice echoes across continents. We're finally speaking the same language, honoring what endured through time, connecting past to infinite future together.
