My aunt, who’s coordinating my grandma’s 90th birthday party reunion, requested a drawing of my grandma playing the piano that would be used for the tote bag party favors. The piano has always been a big part of my life, and my grandma is a huge contributing inspiration. She would tell stories about WWII, when her town was occupied by the Japanese, and how even the Japanese soldiers would stop to listen to her play. To this day, she still plays the piano, and from memory to boot!

Thanks for always being an inspiration, Lola, and I hope I can keep playing like you when I am your age!
