Obituary: **The family is asking that in lieu of flowers donations be made to the Alzheimers Association (www.alz.org) ** Reiko Sakata was born on 24, 1933 in Kumamoto, Japan. She was the youngest of seven children; three older brothers and three older sisters. Her father was a high ranking priest and her mother looked after all the children. Being a priest, her father was very disciplined, but with her being the baby of the family he always showed her just a little extra affection. She was a good student in school and loved to experiment (a trait both her grandsons, Lance and especially Aren, have inherited). She once joined a contest to make a rubber band powered balsa wood airplane. Her plane beat all the other kids planes (very unusual for a girl, in those days) until only her plane was up against another boys plane. As the two wound the rubber bands on their planes to see which would fly the longest, she added just one more twist and her plane snapped in half. She lost the championship but she never regretted it because she said you have to try your best and not be afraid of losing. Sadly, her childhood was not as carefree as all childhoods should be. Japan started a war of aggression and it was not long before the war came to Japans home islands. Her oldest brothers and brothers-in-law were enlisted into the military. Her youngest brother made war planes in a factory every day after school. Her town was bombed and she lost many friends and relatives. Her town is across a bay to the east of Nagasaki, which she saw go up in a mushroom cloud to end the war. All of her brothers and brothers-in-law survived the war, but her father, who had been openly opposed to the war (he had lived in China for 10 years and greatly respected China, in particular) and violence, died shortly after the war from an ulcer; the result of endless hours of praying for peace every day of that terrible conflict. As Japan rebuilt, Reiko took care of her mother. In her mid-20s, she moved north to the Kamakura/Tokyo area, partly to find work, partly for education (she attended some college) and partly for an opportunity to see the world. It also helped her health as she, like so many Japanese, were exhausted from rebuilding their nation. During this time she met an American sailor, Aubrey Don Rushing. would marry and move to the US in the late 1950s. Her first son, Alan, was born in 1960 followed by a second son, Randy, in 1961. Life in the US was very different than in Japan. She did not speak any English. Fortunately, the Rushing family in Texas welcomed her and the kids. She developed a strong love for her sister-in-law, Charlotte. The two taught each other about their respective worlds, and both were able to grow as a result of this love. Unfortunately, Aubrey Don did not share the same love and compassion as the rest of his family so the two divorced. Reiko moved to California with the boys to start anew. Life was hard as she worked several jobs to make ends meet while caring for two children as a single parent. Being Asian and being a single parent in those days were very different than now. She met Richard West and they were soon married. This was a happy time for Reiko as she was able to watch her kids grow up in a comfortable neighborhood with all the joys that children should enjoy. Alan was in school and doing well. Randy was in school but it was a little hard for him. The next year, Randy was tested and it was determined that he had a learning disability. Randy had to attend a special needs school (few and far between in those days) and had to pay a tuition as well. She made a long drive twice a day to take Randy to school and bring him home. Ultimately, she opened up a custom tailor shop so she could help pay for the tuition. Among other things, the extra time and effort she put in to attend to Randys educational requirements led to divorce. She now had two older children and was single again. She moved the family to Orange to be close to Randys school and her shop. Even with the income from her shop, she would also work other jobs to make ends meet. Usually these were waitressing jobs in the evening. In those days, waitresses in Japanese restaurants wore kimonos. She never liked wearing the kimonos for work as it was very old fashioned to her. Even so, she would attend Alans school sporting events wearing a kimono so she could go right to work after the event. She would swallow her personal pride so she could enjoy the pride of being a mother! It was also during these years that she would share her eliefs on things she felt were important. She would tell her kids that they are part Japanese, but ALL American and should be proud of their mixed heritage. BUT, specific to their Japanese heritage they should also know that Japan was responsible for starting a terrible war that hurt a lot of other people. In particular, they should know and understand the pain Japan caused to China, Korea, the Philippines, South-East and South Asia, and to the US. She reminded the kids that they were not personally responsible for the war since they were born after the war, but some people will still have hard feelings just because they were descended from Japanese. She emphasized that there should always be respectful, not just to those cultures that had been wronged and harmed by Japan, but to all cultures . . . always. On marriage and parenting, she cautioned about making sure to continued... |
