Hey everyone. We're headed out to Chie's (She's my wife, obviously) home town of Osaka, Japan because her mum is currently in the hospital and they have a feeling she's probably going to die of heart complications. We're headed out there tomorrow and when we will be back is variable since we don't know yet what the outcome is going to be. Hopefully it won't be too long and we'll come back with good news. Anyways, wish us luck and hopefully I'll see ya'll soon.
 
I'm sorry to hear that, we all wish the best for her. Have a safe trip, we'll be right here when ya get back.
 
We will be here, Croutons. I tried to find something Japanese and settled on this Zen story.

IKKYU, THE ZENMASTER, was very cleaver even as a boy. His teacher had a precious teacup, a rare antique. Ikkyu happened to break this cup and was greatly perplexed. Hearing the footsteps of his teacher, he held the pieces of the cup behind him. When the master appeared, Ikkyu asked:

"Why do people have to die?"

"This is natural," explained the older man. "Everything has to die and has just so long to live."

Ikkyu, producing the shattered cup, added:

"It was time for your cup to die."
 
Sorry to hear, take care and take as much time as you need :) We'll always be here for you.
 
sorry to hear about your family... knowing as close as my wife is to her mom, i fear the day that something similar will happen to us. So my heart goes out to ya.

Take care of your business, and we'll be here for ya. If you need anything let me know. You and your family will be in my prayers.
 
Update: Yui died last night :( Chie & I are going to be here for another week, but we should be home by the 8th. Thanks to all who wished us well, sorry I had to bring back bad news.
 
Thats hard man. I hope you get the news your looking for. Good luck to you, your wife, and her mother.

My prayers w/ u mate.
 
Sorry about the bad luck, I know how much that kind of things sucks...
*Dodges personal story*
Anyway, you're in Japan, so make the best of it!
