Today Kaoru-san brought me to my Grandma Yoko and my Aunt Machiko’s gravesite outside of Tokyo. It was my first visit. Together we left white flowers and burned incense.
Sadly I never met my Grandma Yoko and always felt disconnected from my Japanese heritage. She passed away before I was born. Today was the closest I’d ever been to her both physically and emotionally.
Kaoru-san and I both shared tears and rejoiced with photos and memories of Aunt Machiko. After driving back in the pouring rain we stopped at a small restaurant by the train station for takoyaki, french fries and tea. She translated a phrase in her phone and held it up to me “I am wishing the best for you.” I replied with the same. She told me “I hope you can call me aunt Kaoru.” And I told her she could call me nephew Max.
