I didn't update the information here because my grandfather age 98 had passed away last Saturday. Every time I tell my boss's mother, Fusae-san, about him, she tells me how she happened to meet  my grandMOTHER about twenty years ago, who is his wife age 91. 

My grandmother used to have a shop in front of the prefectural hospital and Fusae-san was visiting someone in the hospital and found the small shop to buy fruits to bring. They had a small chat then but she remembers my grandmother very well somehow. Fusae-san countinues ` who would know that lady's granddaughter ( ME ) might come and work for our paper studio ! ` 

I've been working here for about ten years and didn't have any relatives nor friends before. I just followed the path that the universe prepared for me in 2000. 

In Buddhism idea, I call it ` e-n ` . Is it just a happening or a plan from god ?
