I was impressed with Obaachan going through many difficulties on her own. She went to Canada byherself but in order to do that she had to marry a person in Canada so she did a picture bride. However she didn't like that person so she worked for 3 years so she can pay back the man she was supposed to marry the money he paid for her to come to Canada. Working for 3 years is very tough so I respect her for enduring the work for such a long time.
Also, making decisions in Canada as a Japanese should had been very difficult for her and her family.
Obaachan is very determined and it made me feel how week and unexperienced a person I am.
