I had a friend who married a Japanese man in Hawaii and found his 85 yr. old mom and her friends very interesting. They kept much of the old Japanese ways and were some of the kindest people I have ever met. With that said, I also enjoyed the insights of this daughter. Her theme is universal, though, mothering daughters is such a special relationship, that I don't know if any of us ever believes we are doing it right. It was wonderful that the daughter always seemed to realize her mother's love, even though their ways were different. Isn't that what all of us hope?
