Nov 2016

My mother in law was a tough woman who remembered her family being exiled from Sendai prefecture to Manchuria in the 30's.

She survived WW2.

As the oldest sibling, she supported her younger sisters and brothers in the 40s and 50s.

She raised two beautiful daughters and survived her husband's passing while running a successful business.

Thank you for bringing my wife into the world. Thank you for being a strong lovely human for all of your 85years, I am so sorry that i never had a chance to see you one last time.
