We went back to Aomori to visit my in laws and obbachan for a day. They brought us to visit obbachan siblings. Obbachan including her has 8 siblings, however only 3 are still alive, 2 elder sisters and 1 younger brother. Out of the 3, 2 siblings are living in Aomori city. We visited her elder sister 1st and she can speak English perfectly. It turnout that she was married to a American and stayed there over 30 years, however her husband passed away and she decided to move back to Japan. We talked briefly and went over Obbachan's younger brother house.
Her brother is a quieter person and he look alike with obbachan. His wife on the hand is more talkative, indeed opposites attract. I have seen so many husband and wives that are usually have opposite personality of each other. He was a retired junior high school teacher and taught most of Shota's friends. I was happy to know more about Obbachan and able to ask basic questions about her in my lousy Japanese. In the past, i was not able to understand her and vice versa. When i asked Shota, he was not sure about the history hence could not tell me much. I need to buck up and learn more words to converse and understand them more. I have so much to learn from them especially Obbachan whom experienced the devastating war and survived out of it.
