Grandma, I am a terrible letter-writer, aren't I? The last time I wrote Kimi was just a little girl and Keiana and I were still striving to achieve our lifetime wants. Well, Kimi isn't a little girl anymore, and with the exception of Kimi, we have all achieved our lifetime wants.



I want you to know that Mom and Dad were very happy right until the end of their lives. Mom was trying to max another skill and Dad was trying to stock our ponds with all different types of fish. They might have started getting a few strange thoughts as they got older, but mostly they never let old age slow them down.



Mom passed away at the library where she was working on her tinkering skills. You see, after retiring from the political scene, she was really bored. So, she joined the science career to be closer to Dad; and she was working her way up quite successfully.



Dad was, of course, heart-broken. Without Mom around, he moped a lot. He followed her a day later.



Aunt Kara, like Mom and Dad, worked right up until her last day. She must have worked too hard. She died an hour before her shift was over. We never knew she worked in an old warehouse, but I guess it was a good place to work out and train others in strength and agility.



Both of your children accomplished a lot in their lifetimes. In addition to perfecting many skills and making it to the top of their careers, they left behind a great legacy. We have many of Aunt Kara's paintings around the house and lots of Dad's fish in our ponds.



We have lost some very cherished members of our family. We have also gained a few new ones. Such is the nature of our lives.



Kimi has joined the musical career and wants to be a hit movie composer just as you were. Who knows what the boys will chose. For now, we have taught little Kevin and Kyle to walk, talk, and use the potty. The rest is up to them.

Much love, Keiki
