Genevieve: Grandpa (or “baba” as Kenji calls him) returned home earlier this month after a 3 week visit. During his time here, he was really busy visiting all of his family and seeing old friends, but we managed to get in some good time with him too. Since the last time he had visited, it had been 15 years. Somehow time had passed more quickly than he planned, I guess. So it was a big deal for him to come back home, although I think America has replaced his definition of home. Although he can still speak the language (he first left when he was 23), he’s more American than Japanese now, both in the way he thinks and acts.
