Her first grand daughter was giving her the power to live. And she ran a big beauty salon, it was also something to live. Actually until a week ago she was at her beauty salon.
Since Akari was born, she came to my house once a month, one reason was that my daughter visited her mother-in-law, but Akari always cried in the hospital, so I and sometimes my husband and I were taking care of Akari. Here Utsunomiwa is in the middle between Sendai and Tokyo.
Thanks to her we often saw Akari,
During this Obon vacation Akari had to stay with us for three days without her mother. Of course it was the first time for her. She made it. Sometimes she cried, but when I said 'mom was in hospital', she stopped crying.
The busy and sad week has almost finished. On the other hand thanks to her we had good time with Akari, though it was a little hard job.
I'm sorry for her loss.

I'm sorry to hear about your family's loss. It sounds like she fought really hard and was a very strong woman.
Mieko, you don't have to publish this comment...I just wanted to mention that I think you have a missing word in your first line...it says your son-in-law passed away...I gasped and was very shocked and worried for your daughter.
I think you meant your son-in-law's mother right?
There are a few other little mistakes, but when you are upset, people forgive them more :-)
Helen thanks for your comment. Yes, she is a very strong woman and unique (in a good meaning). There are still something troublesome, however the young couple will manage to do them together.
I'm so sorry. Cancer is terrible.
It's good to try to find "the silver lining" (something good about a bad situation, from the saying, "Every cloud has a silver lining") about getting to see your granddaughter more.
Thanks for your comments, Rosa.
For her buying clothes for her grand daughter was most enjoyable thing. So Akari always wears brand-name clothes, although Akari's parents including her son wear ordinal clothes. Of course Akari don't understand what kind of clothes she is wearing.
