My grandpa, here with me and my dad,during a visit while I was in college
My grandfather in Japan, a proud man who once wowed the neighborhood kids with his strength—he kept a chin-up bar in his art studio—has recently been incapacitated by the cruel fate of cancer. My grandpa and I have always been separated by distance and language, but neither serve to buffer this pain I feel for him in my heart. As my dad leaves today to be by his side, please keep my grandfather in your thoughts and prayers. Domo arigato.
