Photo: Maki Kubo Photo: Maki Kubo My Grandmother's Life Maki Kubo from Japan My grandmother died when she was 87 years old in 1991. I am proud of her because of her life. Although she was not wealthy, she always had a smile on her face and never talked behind anyone's back. She wore kimonos (Japanese traditional clothes) her whole life. She sacrificed her life for her eight children and her husband. About fifty years ago, there were not any electrical appliances such as a vaccuum cleaner, a washing machine, or a dish washer. Therefore, she was very busy, and her housework was very hard because her husband never helped her. When I was a child, she always told me about her life. I liked to listen to her stories because she said that she was happy whenever she began to tell them. Meet more grandparents: Meet My Grandfather Grandparents, I Love You!
