I believe that when people die, they don't leave us. Granted the physical is gone, but the spiritual is still with us. And that great day when we pass from our mortal frame we'll meet them all again and it'll be just like a huge family reuinion.
I did take a look at your pics. I wish I could be there to see Japan in person. One day I will.
