Grandma this is Kenji even tho you where up and walking when I was little I can't remember a thing but I'd remember when you would never let my hand go when you where laying down and you would always Pat my back. But that day in Jeanette's house you stop breathing and when that doctor told us it was done I broke down. I will never stop thinking of you. I love you
