There are two things I remember best about Dad. He was a very wise man, he told me once when Hiroko was little that "We spend the first 2 yrs teaching a kid to walk and talk, and the next 18 yrs telling them to sit down and shut up" Every time I tell Hiroko to be quite or sit still, I remember Dad.
He was also a very kind and generous man. More than once he came to my rescue after I locked my keys in the car. He also seemed to know when I had a hard day at work. On my worst days, I would come home and the dishes would be done and the kitchen clean. It was wonderful.
I will miss the stories he told and conversations we had. I will miss hearing him say "There's my girl!" as Hiroko ran into the office when we went to visit. We love and miss you Dad!
