It was about the same time when BIL was getting scammed
He lost his savings
And then he did something unthinkable
He stole from the company that he worked for and gave the money to the scammers!
Luckily the company did not press charges
Thankful that Satoshi’s company allowed him time off and to work from home/Kyoto in order to take care of things
Long story short, we had to sell MIL's
Because his name was also on the deed, Satoshi also received some monies from the sale, but needs to use this money to pay his taxes from the sale of the house
SIL divorced BIL to protect herself from any responsibility of BIL’s debt
Satoshi also cut ties with BIL so that we would not be responsible for any of BIL’s other debts
Before MIL's was sold, I had Satoshi bring the ihai (spirit tablet) of the ancestors, MIL & FIL to Tokyo
And the Kannon (goddess of mercy) that was on the butsudan (family altar)
A very sad adventure but lots of important lessons to learn from
I appreciate all the good mojo from family and friends throughout all of this.
OMG.
