This year Obon for the jodo mission fell on a Friday. It was so beautiful. We watched the taiko drummers, let the kids plays some games and danced a few songs. I love going as a child and truly enjoy sharing a part of my heritage with them and I go to dance in honor of my grandmother. I had also come across a several letters written to me from her growing up and when I had Shawn and was living in Honolulu that day. It was a wonderful trip down memory lane for me. Everyday I think of her, she will always be in my heart. We love you so much grandma!! I miss you!!
