Her mom accepted me straight away . . . her father was extremely wary of me.
Until he saw how I use chopsticks . . . he said he was very surprised that a foreigner could hold them ALMOST as good as him.
And reprimanded my wife for not being as skilled !
But he never really melt down about me.
She was their only daughter and I often felt he was worried about what would happen to his wife if he came to pass away before her.
Which in fact happened.
But the position of my wife, as my wife, did not allow her to travel to Japan more than twice a year.
Finally she ended up in a nursing home . . . where, two years later, she became totally paralized.
Thanks to a dear cousin of my wife and one of her sons she got all the possible care (changing diapers, feeding her, bathing her . . . etc. etc.)
Untill my wife would fly back, stay 3 months and then come back home . . . only to fly back there after three more months.
It was hell for everyone involved.
The worst . . . for her mother who was always conscious until her demise, 4 years later.
I hope neither me or my wife meet the same fate.
A guy I knew, about my age . . . while having a dinner somewhere, suddenly stood up, proposed a cheers and while we all clicked our gasses . . . he took a sip of his wine and . . . fell dead as dead can be !
Not ONE twitch !
So weird !
Some bastards have all the luck !
