Might be attending this year. Up in the air right now because my fiancé works weekends. Thought I'd share the event though. Plenty of room for Norse culture to shine during this era.

Remembering my late father.

My mother sat next to him for ten days and nights, while he was in hospice. My brother and I were with my mother on my father's final day and we all watched him pass away.

Songs like this are the only real emotional help available in these times, I feel.

My father always instilled in me the Japanese saying that Buddhism, in Japan, is a philosophy and not a religion. Shinto is what he considered to be the "belief system" of Japan.

I believe the separation between Christian belief and Buddhist belief is what many Japanese wish to convey when they insist that Buddhism is a philosophy. Many will further insist that Buddhism isn't even a philosophy. Again, I believe this is because many wish to keep clear the separation between Christian faith and Buddhist history.

Myself and my fiancé both dislike the excessive love for football in our state.

With my parents and a little older, dressed traditionally

Myself as a teenager (early 2000's) and my father making fun of how the other teenagers used to dress for high school.

As a United States citizen, I am glad that I am one of the few (many?) that still holds our history close. I am proud that my family's lines has made it this far, into the "New World". Melancholy tales that not many want to remember or respect.
