My Mother Passes Away

My mother has just left her 95-year-long-her-life for Heaven in the early morning on September 15th, 2021.

I heartily pray for the happiness of her with her late husband in the next world.

My mother on her way to Heaven  welcomed her visitors on the video monitor at the entrance of the funeral. 

We Celebrate My Mother's 89th Birthday

My younger brother and I went back to my hometown to celebrate my mam's 89th birthday.
My daughters and my wife had sent potted flowers for presents before I arrived at home.
I took the picture of my mam holding the presents.

I found a pair of toys made of rice stalks displayed at Japanese style living room. One of them was a crane and the other was a tortoise. Cranes and tortoises are respected to as having a long life in Japan. Those two characters were best fit for her birthday.
