Family Time. The meaning of ‘family’ has continually evolved throughout the years. My parents moved back to Japan at the top of 2023. This was surreal because they talked about moving since I was in high school. But it finally happened. Although very uncomfortable and sad to see them move, I’ve felt immense joy for them to have the opportunity to be back home with extended family, and a much deserved retirement. My parents have done everything and anything to allow my sister and I to have a very fortunate childhood. They shaped me into the person I am today. Most recently, we welcomed my adorable niece, Aya, into this wonderful family. I can’t wait to have Aya & Keita time, and excited for her to say uncle Keita is the fun one. Although I won’t be spending time with my family for Thanksgiving, this is a reminder to myself of what great people I have in my life. I get to be surrounded by some of my chosen family during the holiday. You know who you are if you’re reading this, thank you for being the best parts of this amazing life I am privileged to have. To everyone else, make sure to continue making memories so you don’t regret those opportunities. Die with memories, not dreams. #family #memories #thanksgiving #dreams #fyp #foryou #newjersey #atlanta #japan #chosenfamily #life #neice #uncle #blessed - @notkeitastephen
