My birthday is on November 17th.
I was in Tochio on my birthday.
Tochio is where I was born and lived for 18 years.
Tochio is a mountain village in Nagaoka City in Niigata Pref.
I was too busy taking care of my sister and her husband
to remember my birthday.
When I came back to Tokyo, my daughter's family proposed
to celebrate my belated birthday.
On 25th we had my belated birthday dinner party.
They all like music.
They sang a song “Happy Birthday to You!”
They sang the song with beautiful harmony.
Oh, I should have brought my little digital recorder
and recorded it!
My daughter and her husband prepared しゃぶしゃぶ party
for me.
My grandson bought his favorite book for me.
I read it eagerly. Yes, I like the book very much.
I think I understand why he likes the book and wanted
me to read it.
My granddaughter gave me a jigsaw puzzle.
She herself painted a picture for me.
She knows I like blue skies, white clouds, travelling abroad
and climbing mountains.
How happy I am!
What a peaceful birthday party!
I'm grateful beyond words.
