Thanks for showing up in my life.
When I was a young !!! married, I got to go to Sapporo, Japan, where my husband was in the USArmy and we got to live with a Japanese family…and where I found my soul….

Today, I am a writer and a speaker and could be a great-grandmother later this year…I simply cannot believe that….I carry my Japanese ‘time’ with me always…
Anon,
Alice
