17．BLast summer，after 16years in America，I travelled to Moscow where I grew up．I was the
first in my family to return．Mom gave me a hand-drawn map showing the location of my
grandfather's grave（坟墓）．She asked me to visit it．I promised her it would be the first thing I'd
do．
But it wasn't until a day before I was leaving that I found time to visit．
By the entrance to the cemetery（公墓），a lady was selling flowers．She had only seven left．I
bought them all，but it was then that I realized the map was lost and never found．
I could call my mom．It was already morning in New York．
But the problem was that I had already told her I'd gone to the cemetery．What was I going to
say？That I decided to go again but lost the map？
Then I found the office．An old woman searched the records and found two Abraham
Pikarskis with no further details．
I set off to look for them，hoping that at least one would have a picture on the stone．
I found the two graves．Both said Abraham Pikarski，no pictures，nothing else．
Which grave was mine？
I put three flowers on the grave in front of me and went back to the first one．I also put three flowers there．
I stood there with the last flower．Which Abraham Pikarski should it go to？Should I just
discard it so that each Abraham Pikarski got an equal number？Finally，I put the flower on the
grave．If this is really my grandfather's，he got the most．If not，let this be a respect to the stranger．
I flew home to New York the next day．When Mom saw me，she started crying．
"Mom，it's only been a week…"
She said，"Son，thank you for visiting Grandfather's grave．It really means so much to me．
When you called and told me you went there，I thought you were just comforting me．But this
morning，my cousin called from Moscow，saying she saw your flowers on your grandpa's grave．"
Should I ask her how many flowers her cousin saw？Three or four？
