大変ご無沙汰してしまいました
娘が昨年12月にコロナ禍のカナダ留学から無事帰国し、今は大学受験目前の高3生です。
コロナ禍でカナダでゆったり過ごし過ぎたのか、日本の高校生活に適用できなくなってしまい、不登校＆ノー勉の1学期が早くも終わろうとしています。大学受験できるのかできないのかはっきり言ってわかりません。
少しでも大学受験に梶を切ってもらえるように娘のサポートをしようとしているのですが、逆効果のようで・・・・
Bearsの子供たちは今年は全員小学生です。キラキラした瞳で将来の職業など、短冊に書いてTwinkle, Twinkle, Little Starを一緒に歌って踊って七夕を楽しみました。I want to be a soccer player. とか、I want to have a dog. など、イラストとともに短冊に書いて飾りました。
夢を持つことって大事だなぁと、娘の状態を見ていると思います。成長する過程でいろいろなことに疑問を持って、たくさん悩みながら、大人になっていくのでしょうけどね。
昨日は娘と一緒に青山学院大学のゴスペルクワイアさんのコンサートに出かけました。私も高校はマンドリン部、大学は青学のギター部に所属してコンサートのために練習する日々を送っていたので、学生さん達、それを支えるスタッフさんのコンサートに賭ける情熱が伝わってきて、なんだかジーンとしてしまいました
コロナ禍で1年半コンサートを開催できず、今回のコンサートも何度も発出する緊急事態宣言の合間に最後まで開催できるかハラハラしていたそうです。開催できて、歌う喜びが彼らの身体から歌声になって私の心に届きました。

娘は歌うことが好きなので、大学に入って音楽活動をしてコンサートでも開いてくれたら、観に行けるのになぁ。
親の心、子知らずですので、期待しないで待っております

Hello. I have not posted long time. Time flies so soon. She will be back tomorrow. I haven't seen her for 315 days.
I wonder how she has matured and got responsible. Maybe there must have been lots of ups and downs and it was hard for her to cope with. Anyway I hope she will make use of such indispensable experiences and develop her character.
I'm looking forward to seeing her again! Have a safe flight!

Hello! I haven't updated this blog for a long time. I tend to get lazy so easily.
Anyway, your life in Canada will be over in about 50 days. How do you think about it? Do you want to stay longer? Or can't you wait for the return date? When you left Japan, I made up my mind to improve my English skills and get the license of guide interpreter. But I haven't achieved my goals yet. So I feel pressed for time. I have to make more effort to blush up my English until you are back.
Time flies and the Halloween season is coming soon. I remember my father disguised as a skeleton at the Halloween event. I miss him very much. He might be watching us, especially you from the heaven.
The aroma of fragrant olive made me happy 2 weeks ago but now it's all gone. The life of flowers is so short. We should be more attentive and sensitive to everything around us to make most of our limited life.
Take care!!

237th Day
Hello. How are you? You have got back to school and your school life has started again. Are you getting used to the school life?
I hope you are coping with it without serious troubles. Now you have only 10 weeks left to spend in Canada. You might feel discouraged a lot by this pandemic and your plans and expectations were far from satisfactory but please keep thinking in a positive way to go ahead for the future. I always stand by you no matter what happens. I believe your smiley face has a power to make people happy.
Stay safe, stay healthy and happy!

Monthly Anniversary
September 4th was the first anniversary of my father's death. My mother spends lonely days after losing her life partner. She seems to keep asking herself the same question -- "If only I had taken him to the hospital earlier, he might have survived longer." Such a sense of regret will not leave soon. We never know the answer of such if-only questions.
After he passed away, I searched the internet and found a dictionary in which he was involved as a member of compiling a Japanese-English dictionary for Japanese language students. I realized how little I knew about his work, research and career. So I bought and gave it to my mother.
On the day of monthly anniversary, my mother received a bouquet of Calla Lilies from his old friend. The ｆloral language of Calla Lilies are "ｍagnificent Beauty" and " feminine modesty."
I think he has been blessed with good friends. Maybe he is surrounded by his old friends in the heaven.
