The last few months have been tough for myself, my wife but especially my parents. My step-father has lost several family members during that time. However, they have shown love, understanding and support to us and for that we rae eternally grateful. In particular my step-dad always showers my wife with great affection and I overheard him a few months ago that as "a part of the family" he and my mother worry about her and want her to be happy. Those close to me back in Japan know my feelings regarding the amount of support and encouragement we received before leaving, often from unexpected sources and, conversely, the disappointment we felt at being "frozen out" by others. That is why, the way in which my parents have stood by our side, even in their moments of unhappines, means so very much.
