Mr. Yoshihiro Ueno, 47, living in Tokyo, lost his mother, Michiko, a 47-year-old mother, who collapsed when her fourth year in college living in Tokyo.
Now I run a sushi shop inherited from my parents.
Mr. Ueno expressed his mourning as follows.
"To my mom. Just 25 years since my mother left for heaven. That day when there was a bad quake. Do you remember coming back from skiing that night and calling you?" I didn't go back to the end of January because I didn't have it. "I had a broken hip joint and slept on the first floor. I heard" It's time to sleep with my dad on the second floor. " I'm going to sleep underneath my dad when I'm a bit cold and I'm going to sleep. "I also said," That's right. "At this time, I still regret it. I didn't think there would be an earthquake, and I wouldn't think my house would be crushed, I was scared, I hurt, Mom, I was wearing a futon from my head. Call me home forever However, I'm talking for a long time.I thought she was going to contact me as soon as she was there, but I thought she was crazy.The next day, my aunt called me and said, "I'm burying my mom, but I'm doing it." I was surprised and came back to Kobe immediately, because Osaka looked like usual, maybe I thought it would be alright, but as I approached my house, the familiar scene was tattered and seemed to have a bad dream I didn't know what had happened, I saw the collapsed house, just stood up, and all the words came out.The funeral was done in my father's countryside. I don't know how much I've died, but my mother lying asleep has become a white bone at the crematorium. I was supposed to open an ice cream business in Ibaraki Prefecture from April, and when I lived away from Kobe, I felt like I was lying after an earthquake. There is a house before it collapses, and my mother is also in my head.In my head, I do not leave Kobe in front of me.One time I told my father, "What if I get older? If I am a salaried worker, I will be in Kobe in the future It's unlikely you'll be there, will you come to my place? ", And my dad would say," I can't leave this place where my mother died. " I thought I would regret my whole life, so I decided to go back to Kobe and decide to sushi with my dad, and I had no resistance to doing sushi, so I promised my mother. line I Temoee, if and sushi shop quit university if there something to Dad, go let them go school to his brother and sister. So I quit the company and returned to Kobe. I'm married to that girl my mom knows. Studying fish, kitchen knives and sushi daily, with my dad teaching me every day. I was taught golf, but this wasn't very good. After the earthquake, my dad worked hard so that I could bring up the shops and children. Thanks, thanks. The daughters who received one letter from their mother's name are growing up well. Both the younger brother and the younger sister have their own families and they are fine. The store was rebuilt three years ago. I happened to know Dad's cancer at that time. Shortly after relocation, I went there. Did you meet your dad? Even the new store uses the price list written by her mother. That's the starting point of my sushi restaurant. I am 47 years old, the same year my mother died, and I am finally over my mother's year. The whole family will do their best day by day. Please watch from afar. Whenever I close my eyes, I hear my mother's voice saying, "Good luck, do my best." Mom, thank you for always supporting me. "
