a family photo

I thought I would try to post a photograph.  This is a recent photograph when my parents were here to visit in the spring.  They stayed in an apartment in Waikiki for one week.  It was a lovely visit with them.  They are so supportive and loving.  I'm very lucky to have a strong family bond. Perhaps it is because we have a very small family, basically just my mother, father and myself.  I was the only child as many of you know.  Yes, I was spoiled. I do have a half-sister from my mother's first marriage living in Atlanta.  We are close now, but didn't like each other too much when we were growing up. Funny thing is my father and my mother were both single child families as well.  And now, Mineko and I just have one.  Perhaps it's part of the genetic makeup.  Enjoy the photo I hope it comes across correctly.
