Celebrating Obon a little differently this year

[atoberex]

 These last two years I haven't been much of a fan of Obon. It was a too bright reminder that my parents were gone from this world.

But, thanks to the hard work of several people, including Inui Sadaharu and my dearest heart, Momoshiro Takeshi...this year I get to celebrate two fewer of my ancestors.

How do I put this? I HAVE MY PARENTS BACK!!

We found them in a small village in Switzerland, less than 100 km from where the plane went down. Mother is in need of some surgery on her leg, and Father...well, Father is recovering from amnesia. Apparently I was the catalyst in his sudden memory return. This was last Monday. We flew back to Japan today. I'm...I'm still stunned. 

Kabaji, Yuushi...Hyoutei. Thank you for your support. I am...beyond words right now.

Holy shit, that's awesome! I'm glad you found them alive. Will you be bringing them home to Japan, then? We can throw them a welcome home party, Hyoutei style.

Congratulations. I'm happy you were able to receive such good news from your efforts. And that your father's memory seems to be returning.

I didn't really do anything, Keigo... just stood around and... stood! But I'm really glad they're back and glad you're happy again.
