Gratitude

Thank you for running such a long way to see us.

I miss my daughter who is living on university in a distant country,

Desiring to provide love and support, he set aside a day to hike up the mountain with his son for four hours.

I always worry about eating right without skipping meals, whether I am sick, or if there are any difficulties.

She always boldly said, “Goodbye. After eating two bowls of rice each, the uphill climb in the dormitory makes me feel stronger. I feel like I’m getting stronger. Mom is healthy, isn’t she?” rather, she worries about me.

However, before the cold winter begins, I want to take care of my health with delicious food.

I was able to climb in one step.

Throughout the journey, I thought about what we would need and what to eat.


After driving for four hours, we met our daughter, who prepared an unexpected bouquet to welcome us.

It was a light purple flower called Stoke, which means “lasting love.”

Tears came to my eyes as my daughter held out her hand, saying, “Thank you for running so far.”

I was grateful that the children had grown into adults who recognized gratitude and practiced love.

Even today, let’s support each other with the words of Mother’s love, the unwavering love.
