When Koa was a month old, my dad and stepmother came to visit us for his blessing day. We actually didn't take too many pictures, we were busy trying to show them beautiful Japan and spending time together. We didn't think any of our family members would come visit us, it is expensive and not the most convenient plane ride. We are so grateful they came to visit. Ely still talks about it and going home back to the states to visit. Having a relationship with my grandparents has molded me into the woman I am today. This is important and should be a priority. We live in a world that teaches you to look out for just ourselves, that family is an inconvenience. Choose love, choose family, choose meaningful and loving relationships no matter how hard it may be. My dad and stepmom could have gone anywhere for the price it cost to come see us, they could have taken a cruise, they could have gone to a dream trip to wherever they wanted in the world, but they chose us. For that I am grateful.
