Dear Cute Family,

I arrived yesterday and I think I left my heart in Japan, with my son Yukio. I already miss him terribly.
Here some pictures of the cherry blossom, bullet train and my son.
The last one, is an article from a Japanese Newspaper that says: "Cherry blooms for a homeless student"
Yukio has passed the tests to go to Aichi Prefecture University, the biggest University in Aichi Prefecture. I'm so proud of him! He will live in a student unit from April, and I'm so happy about it.
Love and hugs,
Yoriko

Yoriko, I am so happy that you got to see your son if only for a short while and you have many reasons to be proud of him. The cherry blossoms are beautiful .

Yoriko, you have every right to be so proud of this fine, fine young man. God has been watching over him and you for a long time and good things are still going to come. I can't imagine how difficult it was for you to leave him- it takes my breath to even think about it. Praying for angels to watch over him and protect him.

Wonderful news about your son! Congratulations! The blossoms are so very pretty too. We do miss our children, especially when they are so far away.

Welcome back Yoriko.
Beautiful pictures and handsome son. You have every right to be proud of him.
I am sure you wish he lived closer to you. Its hard when they are so far away, but thanks to the Internet, we can still be close to them. I miss my Daughter and Grand Daughter so much, since they moved to the States and they are only a couple of hours away by car, but seems a world away.
Hugs Jerri

Dear Yoriko,

How beautiful to see such gorgeous pictures of Yukio and the lovely cherry blossoms. I'm thrilled that he has done so well, no wonder you are so proud of him. Glad that you are back safely and as others have said you can contact each other via the internet, skype etc. Love and blessings Chris

Yukio has done so well to get to Aichi Prefecture University and you are one proud mum. So glad that the visit to Japan went well. It is tough saying goodbye and having such a distance between you but as others say with modern technology its easy to be in touch most of the time. The cherry blossom looks wonderful, one day I will get back to Japan and see it blossoming and go on shinkansen again. I know a small part of my heart is still in Japan so there must be a huge part of yours there. Take care and look forward to your next visit to see Yukio and your country
