It is 10 years since I came to Tokyo from Niigata.
It was on April 17 in 2000 that I started my life
in a small apartment in Tokyo.
koharu, my granddaughter, was a six-month-old baby.
koharu's brother was six years old.
koharu is now in the fifth grade of elementary school!
Her brother is now in the second year in high school!
They are growing each day.
How about me?
I'm getting stronger day by day, I feel.
I'm enjoying every moment of my life.
I'd like to live and learn as Mahatma Gandhi said--
Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Learn as if you were to live forever.
---------------------------------------
April 17 in 2000 was a beautiful spring day,
while what a cold day it was today, April 17 in 2010!
I was surprised to find it was snowing this morning.
