18 Years Ago...

Above, my dad in front of Godaido temple in Matsushima, Japan in 1951.

It seems like whenever an immediate family member passes away, time seems to accelerate. I don't know if it is just me who notices this or if anyone else gets the same feeling.

It was 18 years ago today that my dad passed away from lymphoma. At times, it seems like just the other day and at other times, it seems ages ago.

My mom passed away ten years and one month after my dad. I miss them both to this day.
