| 0:00.0 | So mom welcome back to the podcast. This is part two in which I interview you and ask you questions |
| 0:06.3 | that the listeners submitted. Welcome back. Yes, it's wonderful to be back on this beautiful |
| 0:13.0 | Seattle morning. Yeah. And we were talking just a little bit about the last recording because I |
| 0:19.2 | edited it and sent it to you. And we were talking about it. And I'll tell you for me, it was a real |
| 0:26.7 | development in terms of not only how I see your parents and your relationship with each other, |
| 0:31.7 | you and dad, but also by feeling my sense of myself, I think, was altered because when I was growing |
| 0:38.2 | up, I didn't know any of the problems that you had with your parents. And then later on, |
| 0:44.8 | I was maybe in my 20s or 30s when you told me more about how your parents were really against. |
| 0:51.6 | I mean, I knew that they were against it, but I think it was told to me in a way that was kind of |
| 0:56.5 | cute or something and not as severe. And then you told me the more severe story. And so the |

| 1:15.2 | I was adding little video clips and pictures and thinking about them and their journey. |
| 1:23.0 | And in a way, not only did they adjust to you and dad, but it's almost like they went even |
| 1:30.8 | farther than other parents would have to embrace Japanese culture independent of you and dad, right? |
| 1:37.4 | And that really changed how it's still a problem what your parents did when you were |
| 1:45.0 | dating dad. But given the times, given where they come from, given the community, |
| 1:50.8 | I think it's commendable and heartwarming that they adjusted in. So my story of them, my story of |
| 1:58.1 | you, my story of myself, because we, at least for me, derive meaning and identity from our ancestors. |
| 2:05.8 | And so to have that in me is a complicated, but I think heartwarming, uplifting story. |
| 2:14.0 | What was it like for you to watch the edit that I sent you? Well, I found that we kind of |
| 2:20.9 | glossed over in a period of time there where your dad and I were dating and it would have been |
