My mom has already left Japan, but the two weeks she spent here were soooo much fun, and sooooo needed! I hadn't seen my mom in a year and a half. That's a long time to not see your mom!
I started crying at the airport even before I saw her, and then I sobbed and sobbed once she left.
I kept my mom quite busy while she was here. Busier than she would have liked, I think! But I felt like I had 3 years worth of places and people that I wanted to show her in just 2 weeks! This included going to school with me for 3 days, so she could meet all my junior high school students and some of my elementary school students.
There are more pictures to come, but enjoy this one for now!

Here's mom on the bridge near my house, ready for a long walk around Ouchiyama!
