We heard Tora-chan’s voice in the morning. Rushed outdoors, we found her looking exhausted and scared. However, Mei-Shun was too slow to feed her who ran away from our garden in a second. Oh, such a cold nature … she might have lost in a territory fight. However, if we protect her to see Dr. O, it would mean to deprive her of the right and freedom she had won so far.
Wink!
Six years have flown since Mei-Shun’s father passed away. It seems that time gives two gifts: it turns a grief of losing beloved one into a beautiful memory, while let you try to do better expecting his gentle nod in mind.

Momo-chan, our garden princess, looks ready to grow fruits. She leaves many petals on Mei-Shun’s car, which has been taken over from her late father. Every spring, it seems that Momo-chan conveys warm messages and hug together from Mei-Shun, her mother and sister to their beloved one.
We had two avocados. After Mei-Shun started her hospitalization, Shin and his mother have taken care of several plants indoors including them. “Yellow Card” cymbidium and green necklace pods were kept fine, but they – maybe not strong enough – failed to survive the last blow of winter.
Shin takes care of Mikan-chan after Mei-Shun started her hospitalization. She always smiles to “daddy”, yet never let him touch her. Lack of brushing, she looks a bit less shiny, he says. Oh, good girl – please forgive mom. She misses you soooooo much.
