Goodbye Okaasan.
Kazuko died earlier this week and we have just returned from her funeral.
I will write more another day.
But, today is just to let you know that her 95 years of eventful life have closed and she (thankfully) passed quickly and peacefully into her next adventure.
The end came fairly suddenly, a week ago she had a slight fever and slightly ragged breathing. It's the long spring holiday called Golden Week in Japan, so the hospital is actually closed to family visits. But we suddenly got a call on Sunday morning, and by late Sunday evening she had passed.
Today is a beautiful sunny day. The sky is blue, the cherry blossom and other flowers are everywhere. It's a good day to remember Okaasan, who loved flowers and color and laughter.
More later.
