Dedicated to my grandparents who lived their whole lives longing for the great return to their beloved home village...
Joy was particularly anxious that July morning. Her emotions were all mixed up. She couldn't tell what she was feeling exactly...
On that day, her extended family would go on a trip. Her grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins... everybody. She should have been feeling happy. When the extended family gathers, they have a great time. They eat a lot, they talk loudly, they laugh a lot, and they enjoy themselves so much.
That morning, however, nothing was as usual. That trip was not like others in the past. On that morning, they would visit their grandparents' place of origin... a place occupied by troops... after thirty full years.
