Do i need to remind you how long it took for reddit to get a room-safe open 🤤

This is such a human response lol. I love this AMA.

Both my kids are obsessed with Japanese culture. My teenage son is several years into Japanese lessons in high school. I hope he gets a chance to visit sometime. Their year 12 trip was supposed to be Tokyo, but.. pandemic :(

E: I'm Australian.

After my wife and I lost a child a few years ago we lost a few close friends. Some just couldn't deal with it. Hell, one of them wrote my wife a letter (mind, she was a good friend, and WORKED with her on a daily basis) stating that because she had kids as well she couldn't cope with knowing someone who had lost a child.

We ended up putting them into the weak-people-basket and moving on. Who needs idiots like that around?

Similar story for me and my wife. We were put in a, what looked like a normal hospital room, but turned out was a special room. We wanted to spend some time with her body before we had to let her go, a chance to say goodbye. Every nurse and doc that visited treated us very differently to other visits we made, some of them openly wept.

If it weren't for the support and kindness of the hospital staff I dont know how we would have coped. Most of it was a daze but I remember taking flowers back to the staff to say thank you.

We've since been involved with child loss groups.

Fuck me, now I'm tearing up at work.

Thanks for responding!

The kids were pretry heartbroken but our family will get them over there eventually.

I had a friend in high school who was into hardcore swordsmanship. He was part Japanese (mum Japanese, Aussie dad).. used to do insane lesson hours. Moved to Japan as a translator, married a Japanese girl. Always seemed so fucking cool to me.

I wish I was fitter, I would love to get into swordsmanship. Always been a secret desire. The best I can do is being the home chef and obsessed with Japanese steel/knives.

Hah!
