So I've been in America now for a couple of months, and all I can say is...I miss my home in Japan.
I could move back to Japan, and I really want to, but then I run into the problem that with ageing parents, I may be required to leave again, especially since my father is fine for now. Thankfully the chemotherapy worked. But it means that I should really think about my life in America for the long term.
Since I've moved to the U.S., I've been busy working around my parents' house and more recently my brother's house in California. It's amazing how much work needed to be done, but thankfully that, too, is drawing to a close soon.
Also, my 93-year-old grandmother passed away recently. She was my last surviving grandparent, and although I miss her, I am glad knowing that she passed away exactly as she wanted to: in her own house in her own bed.
I plan to return to school this autumn with any luck and study something new. It'll be sad resigning myself to life in the U.S. again, but perhaps my being here is for some higher cause, if only I can find it.
Wanting to go back to Japan is my selfish want; I need to find something better than being selfish.
