Why don't you read this?
Hi there. It's been a while.
Perhaps it's the first time not to post an article such a long time like this.
This article is going to be all written in English. The other day, a friend of mine, MAX suggested that I try to write this one in English.
Actually, I worried that you didn't try to read this, but you readers are very smart. You must be able to understand what I write about. So please don't hesitate to try.
Goodbye comes suddenly
The last moment came to us suddenly.
My grandmother passed away day before yesterday, 10th May 2021.
She died after her long struggle with cancer.
I think she suffered from cancer so much. So I would like to say to her, "おつかれさまでした."
She was born before WW2, experienced and survived that war.
I can't imagine her experience at that time easily. But sometimes she told me how scary the war was. So I might be able to imagine that a little. Anyhow what she told me is so important to me even now.
She had two daughters. They are my mother and my aunt. And She had five grandkids, including me. We all respected her, her life, and her way of thinking.
At least, I have been so influenced by her, in my perspective. For emaple, smoking habit and drinking habit... and many other things.
In her last day, there were five persons, my mother, my aunt, my cousin, my younger brother, and me in her room. She struggled for breath and gasped for air, holding my hand very tight.
She said "Be happy, get along well." to us and "I'll leave it to you." to me.
She raised me with my grandfather and my mother and father when I was a child.
I have so much memories about her. And she was always kind to me in my memories. Of course she was for real too. I loved her so much.
In fact, I started to write this blog for her and my father to see, my friends as well.
Then she died, but I will try to continue writing this blog. Don't worry about that. I'm going to write as long as there is someone who looks forward to seeing my blog.
Her funeral is going to be held tomorrow, friday 14th May.
She will depart from here beyond the white smoke.
I appreciate her.
R.I.P
