Shock of Her Granddaughter Not Knowing Her Japanese Heritage
And she said something about, “Your people,” and I shuddered inside – “your people?” and I had to kind of calm myself, and I had to tell myself, “There is no ‘your people’ or ‘my people,’ because you come – part of you comes from me.” And so I asked her mother for permission – because they were divorced at the time, my son and his wife, to take her to Japan. And I took her and introduced her to the relatives in Hiroshima. I thought it was important for her to know there is no “Your people, my—” you’re part Japanese. That was – that was a shock when she said that. You know, but I’m not with her all the time, she doesn’t see me all the time, but I – I thought, “Did she not…” I never asked her. Did she not notice I looked different from her?
