One last note: I’m not sure how long East West's home page will stay the same, but look for the group photo of me, Mom, Grandma, and my aunts (Reiko and Yoshiko) there.

Naomi, that essay came out really great! You really got to the essence of your relationship. I love the detail of the polite plane seat between you. Congratulations!
Oh how I love this story! It's perfect and wonderful, and I feel like I was there with you!
Really great!
Naomi, what a great personal slice of life story that transcends into human interaction that all can relate to.
Thanks for the compliments! It's a great feeling to have people reading my work.
As always, I finish your articles wanting MORE! I loved the essay, and totally remember the Forenza sweaters, Guess jeans and sushi at the block parties.
