fundador brandy was one of the favorite drinks of my grandfather. unfortunately, he'd often end up with a terrible headache after. yet it was something he was not going to so easily give up. :)

    I am not much of a judge of haiku, Kouji but the sentiment is clear.
    Sorry for your loss.

    My wife and I would like to wish you dearest condolences on the death of your grandfather. From the photos,-and your loving haiku-
    he seems like he was an outstanding gentleman.
    Again, our thoughts are with you Kouji.
    Thank you for sharing this outstanding work.

    Shalom dear Kouji, I see your grandfather's pictures below and can well imagine that you miss him now. As we say in Hebrew, zichrono livracha--may his memory be as a blessing.
    Glad to find your haiki and blog.
    I'll be back.
    Thanks for visiting Jerusalem Hills. You are always welcome.
