Today is my mom's birthday. I already gave her birthday present, so I just called her to wish her a happy birthday before I left for work. This year's birthday present was tickets to a play starring Pinko Izumi on the internet. My mom likes "The Wataru Oni"drama series.Since all the tickets were sold out on her birthday, I bought the tickets for the 14th, 2days early to her birthday. Afterwards, I asked how she liked the play. She said that her seat was very good. It was next to the side stage. But there was a surprising incident. The play's setting took place in Iwaki, Fukushima which is hiroro's hometown. And it was Yumoto hot springs,too. To tell the truth, my father-in-law's funeral took plce in a funeral home in Yumoto. Is this just an coincidence or what?! To my mom, she felt it was a message from my father-in-law saying, "There's nothing much to see in Iwaki, but it's a nice place. So please visit again someday. Please take care of my son,too." And since it was her first birthday present after we had settled down in Japan, it made her double happy. But I guess there's an coincidence like this or are we just thinking too much?! If I lived a bit closer, I could of gone,too. Oh, well... On occasions like these, I wish I lived closer to my family. Then I could go along.
