Asian Tigers came this morning and packed our mouse house. It is amazing how enormous 485 square feet feels once all your personal touches and baby toys are removed. I remember when we first checked in and saw our room, I mean apartment. I started crying, "I can't live like this! We made a mistake!" As it usually works, by morning our perspectives had softened a little. Seven months later it is time to say Sayonara, and the tears again come in an instant.
It was my dream to come to Japan, to visit Tokyo, and to absorb all the fascinating culture, old and new. I have loved nearly every moment of it, with the exception of certain allowable frustrations and times of loneliness. The customer service reps at our apartment have become friends, the engineer a playmate for Jackson-kun, and the housekeepers an inspiration. I have no regrets as we prepare to leave, only a twinge in my heart and throat as I see the conclusion of this chapter. We are so fortunate for the opportunities we have had, and for Jackson to share them with us.
Life is a wonderful journey.
