K is for kitten and K is for Kurumi which is my cat’s name, and I just found out that she passed away last month. I was in Chicago over the Independence Day weekend and came back to Minneapolis today. I just went to straight to the lab because I had so much work to do. After I came back to my apartment, I found a letter from my mom. It was pretty weird she sent me a letter because she really doesn’t do that (including email). In the letter, she said my cat died on June 21st. Seriously, it really sucks. My cat was pretty much only reason I go back to Japan! I was kinda upset that my mom didn’t call me the day my cat passed away. Hmm, I was gone for the conference in that weekend, but she could still call me before I left the town. Oh well, I really wish I could see my cat one more time. It really sucks!!
