An Honourable Experience
I was truly honoured to meet this amazing woman of 95 who is
centred in the middle of the photo.
*
In early May, Erina(far left) , Nami(unseen..took the photo) and
I took a road trip to Nigata which is about an 8 hour drive from
Nagoya to visit Erina`s grandma.
*
Grandma is a slight built woman who is about 4 feet in height and
is full of love, laughter and wisdom. She is simple and warm and
opened her home to Nami and I, who were complete strangers to
to her.. We spoke to her for hours and learned many things about
her life before and after the war. She rises early, does her daily
chores and tends to her vegetable garden everyday. I found her
to be unique and special because she had no barriers and treated
me like her own granddaughter.(Although later on it was relayed
to me that she thought I was a cute young boy!)And her eyesight
is perfect!!!

Let us strive to be people of love and honour and many thanks
to everyone involved in this heart warming experience.
