A mom really would like to keep her children from the kind of aches she experienced but it's not to be! Leaving a place and people you love is like ripping a lung out.
You left out kawara-soba, dear. And cool malls.
I love you, dear White Rabbit.
If you want to speak Nihongo, call Motoko-chan. She would be thrilled!
I can relate to having a list of things I miss. And sometimes it feels sooooo far away and long ago, and othertimes so close. Of course Japan really is sooooo far away!!
Do you think you'll ever go back?
