I’m still alive

Many Japanese are infected with COVID-19 everyday. The number of suicides has been increasing. I’m still alive now. It means I am happy, I think.

Dementia

My mother has dementia. She stays in the nursing home now but we can’t see her for a long time due to the Corona virus.
The last month we took her to the hospital. She looked happy to see us after a long time. She was surprisingly thin and looked different.
She was beautiful and lively mother in my memory. She wore makeup and always took care about her appearance. She was my ideal.
Now she can’t walk nor have a meal by herself. Her hearing gets worse form aging and she always speaks with loud voice. She looks no longer human.
I feel she is myself after thirty years.

Why has he committed suicide?

Last weekend a famous Japanese actor committed suicide. He was an excellent actor with a promising future.

No one has known the darkness in his mind.

No one has known what he worried about and if his worries solved by suicide.

Many Japanese speculate on the cause of his suicide. But no one can figure out the question.

I’ve been asking for unsolvable question.

Kyoto

I stay in Kyoto, Japan now.

When I visited here at teenager, I didn’t like it because I’d felt bored at temples.

Now I’d like to recommend you to visit in Kyoto if you are thinking at the next trip.
