Fico feliz por você, Yoriko! Estar ao lado de suas irmãs, depois de tanto tempo, deve ser maravilhoso... Lamento por você não poder vir ao Rio de Janeiro. Até quando você fica em São Paulo? Eu vou a São Paulo em maio na feira de natal. Te desejo todas as alegrias nesta sua visita ao Brasil. Receba o meu fraternal abraço de carinho. Me passe o seu telefone ou o da casa da sua irmã. bjs

How wonderful that you get to spend time with your family after such a very long time. How did they come to live in Brazil? Did you used to live there too?
Everyone certainly looks happy. I know your days there will be full and filled with joy! I'm happy for you.

My parents migrated to Brazil and we were all born there. On my 20th, my father went back to Japan and I went after him. My sisters and brothers and my mother remained in Brazil. Thank you so much Jerrilyn!
