Memorial

Momoko's friend from work took off the rest of the school year to care for her sick sister. The sister had been sick for a while. They recently found out she had cancer of the lungs. Reminded me of my own mom's condition. The care did not last for long. Momoko's friend's sister passed away.

The whole family is close to Momoko's friend. We always see her at school. We decided that all of us would attend the memorial service. To plan ahead, we had Little Kat put on the clothes her was going to wear the night before. It was a big snug. But Little Kat said it would work. The next day Little Kat said the clothes were too tight. Too bad.

I drove up to the memorial service. It was in the town where Kit Kat want to attend a four year college. I drove up past the big city to our North. There was a lot of traffic on the road for a Saturday. There were a lot of family and friends at the service. It was a sad time but I was glad that we went to show support. Momoko had sprung for a nice arrangement of flowers to be sent. They looked good.

Afterwards Momoko wanted to eat dinner at Sonic since we were close to one. I had different plans. I used Momoko's car's GPS to navigate us to a fancy Italian restaurant in the big city to the north. We had a valet park our car. The best part of the meal was an appetizer salad that had shrimp, salami, cheese and a delicious house dressing.

Kit Kat had calamari as her meal. Momoko ordered some appetizer sampler as her meal. I had a meatball platter and Little Kat had a pasta. Momoko wanted to try cannoli for the first time. It actually tasted really good. We also splurged and got Kit Kat a pistachio flavored ice cream dessert. I think we might be back to this restaurant whenever we visit Kit Kat at her future college.
