On Tuesday, November 2nd, 2011, Daddy and 8 others members of two non profit organizations (Left Behind Parents Japan and Asian People’s Friendship Society) met with a Diet member (Congressman / Member of Parliament). Wet met with Mr. Hakubun Shimomura for forty five minutes. We demanded that Japan enact legislation for joint custody in Japan. Mr. Shimomura listened attentively to everything we had to say. Daddy took a framed picture of you three girls and showed it to him. When he asked daddy if I had a meishi (business card) I said, “NO, this is my meishi.” meaning the photo.
Daddy is trying very hard to make change in Japan so he can see you and you can see him. I know you want to see daddy and grandma and your uncles, aunts and cousins and they want to see you too. We all love you so very much. I know that you love me because of my visit to Iwaki on September 23rd. Lauren, your note “Dady Love” means so very much to me. You are a beautiful and precious girl. Julia, you are an angel. So absolutely lovely it defies description. Rion, when you saw me and exclaimed “Daddy” and then ran and jumped in my arms I nearly collapsed from joy and relief to see you and hold you again.
I want you girls to know that I will NEVER give up trying to be in your lives on a daily basis. You deserve nothing less than my very best effort and I promise you I am giving it my all. I am so sorry for what your mother is doing to our family. I love you.
