数日前は母の誕生日で、誕生日の前日ぐらいに以下の言葉を頂きました:
この年になるとなんにでも感謝したいね。生きていることに、食べていけることに、健康であることに、朝のすがすがしさに、小鳥の声に、、、、、、
母は宮城県の小さな町で生まれ育ち、結婚を機に外国で生活をすることに。計25年、8ヶ国、4ヶ国語。異国の地で娘3人を育て、父を支えてきました。私が世の中で最も尊敬する女性です。そんな母からの言葉をしっかりと受け止め、大事にしたいと思います。
A few days ago, it was my mother's birthday and a day before that she gave me these words:
At this age, I want to appreciate everything. Being alive, being able to eat, being healthy, the morning freshness, the chirping of the birds...
My mom was born and raised in a small town from Miyagi Prefecture and moved overseas when she got married. Total of 25 years, 8 countries, and 4 languages. She raised 3 daughters and supported my father in foreign countries through out the years. She is the woman I respect the most and I want to really take in her words and treasure them.
