someone to watch over you

When I was a little girl I used to sit by my grandfathers baby-grand whilst he was composing a new piece of wonderful music. He wrote rhapsodies, pieces for full orchestra, piano concerts, choir pieces, children's songs, you name it.
He was a very musical person. He was also the first person I knew doing yoga and keeping the mind calm by using Buddhist traditions.
He always had a very special love for Japan. Even before I was born he wrote songs like " Tokyo Trip" and "Japan is only a Song away".
He always wanted to go, but never went, and later in life as my career took off in Japan I made sure to keep him informed of everything.
10 years ago he left us. It hit me hard, and I will never forget that day.
I have a lot to thank him for, my musical heritage and my artistic mind so often in need of peace n quiet. He gave me his Buddha statue, that was always in his bedroom watching over him. Now it watches over me, and with all scary things happening in Japan,  I want it to watch over  all of you in Japan as-well.
Much Love from Me
