Over the weekend, we went to visit my MIL. We also went to visit Satoshi's grandma. It was a good thing too, when we arrived on Saturday afternoon, she was in and out of conciousness. (this photo was from our visit in January 2009.)After coming back from Kyoto on Sunday evening, we got the phone call from my MIL, Satoshi's grandma had just passed away. She was 101.
MIL and Satoshi seem to be taking the news okay. The thing I will miss about her was her warm smile and her mis-pronouncing my name. She would always call me "Kyaria-chan". We'll miss you Hikone Grandma.
Aloha Kat, I am so sorry for your and Satoshis loss..I am sure she will be very missed.
