Meet the Shimomuras

I blogged on Sunday about meeting my Japanese host family again after 38 years ("Family"). It was remarkable to me how their personalities had not changed one bit. They have grayed (as have I), and perhaps grown wiser with age. None of the cells in their bodies (or mine) are the same, and yet there was instant recognition. I share their picture here with you all, because every time I look at it, I just can't keep from breaking into a great big smile. So, let me introduce you to my otoosan and okaasan, Kintaro and Sachiko Shimomura!
