Siblings.
MOM!! HE'S TOUCHING ME!!!
What a crazy day. I haven't had much time to do anything. It's it weird how when you are busy it seems like you don't get to do anything? Well at least anything fun. I finished up a ton of chores and it feels great to get that all out of the way. Hooray! I think after I finish my update I will have some spare time to make it to all the sites I missed earlier. Sorry if I haven't made it to your site yet!
I found out tonight that my dad's little sister is going to come to Washington for a visit. Of the Shimura family we are it. If my brother doesn't have kids it will be the end of our family line. Since Kinda sad. My dad did have an older brother but during WWII my dad's family was interned in a camp and he died. For those of you who don't know. During WWII on the west coast of the United States anyone who was, I believe 1/8 Japanese or more, were taken from their homes and placed in government control camps. My grandparents, dad, aunt and uncle were moved from central Washington state to California then to Wyoming. It was in Wyoming my uncle died. It's sad, I will never know him except through a few stories my dad would tell me and even fewer pictures. My grandparents never talked about their time in the camp. My grandpa would just get mad and my grandma sad.
It's really weird to think about that happening to my family. Can you imagine being taken from your home and being forced to moved just because of your race? I know what happened to the Jewish people in Nazi Germany was far worse, but this happened to my family which makes it hurt even more. What is weird but if this were to happen now, not that it would, John would have to go to the camp with me since he is married to me. My dad said he remembers a few non-Japanese people in the camp because they were married to the "enemy".
Sorry, I kinda went off on a tangent there. I guess what I was getting at is my aunt is coming up from California for a visit. I am really excited about it. I love her, she is such a kick in the pants. Everyone that knows my aunt says I am going just like her. She is always happy and loves to laugh. I think I can take that as a compliment! ^_^
Let's take time for a special sibling bishie break!
Siblings, the longest relationship you will have with another person.
My question of the day is about siblings. Do you have siblings? How many brothers and sisters do you have? Where do you fall in place...oldest, youngest or forgotten middle child? Or are you going it solo as an only child?
I have only one older brother. His name is Hiroshi. He is 2 years older than me. We have always been friends. In school all of his friends were like extra older brothers and the would all watch out for me. It was great. Even now as adults we can still have fun like kids. Usually we end up teasing each other or play fighting. I think my parents are still waiting for us to grow out of this "stage" of our childhood. :P
I feel very fortunate that we get along so well. I really do believe that the relationship you have with your siblings will be the longest one you will ever have. Friends come and go. Parents, because of age will pass away...but your siblings who are close to you in age will live the closest to your life span. No matter what, you will always be family and that to me is very comforting.
See, we can get along!
I guess that is about it for my ramblings to today. I hope you week is off to a great start. Thanks for visiting and I love ya all!
