Now that I’m alarmed how little time is left with my mother, I came to think how my final stage would be. Indeed, the things finally we find consolation with before departing must be affection from the loved ones. <br /><br />Time is fleeting. While I’ve been involved in family matters and occasional posting and commenting, this year is going to end. The distinctive feature of this year to me was “coming and going”, that is, babies and the very old parents. It’s like new buds appear very close to the withered older blooms still clinging to the stem with its own beauty, like cosmos flowers. I’ve had such a delight with grandchildren and aged mother nearby. Last week, my mother was found lying on the floor, but thanks to my brother’s early detection, she is okay now though frail. She also started perceiving or seeing something that is not there in the real world (like the late loved dog all drenched in the room, etc.) My brother decided “final care at home” and my sister and I are commuting to Kobe in turn more often than before. I hope her dream will come true to die in her sleep at home. While watching over her, I think of my life from now on.<br /><br />In the same way, more or less, I understand your prayers and thoughts toward your loved ones. I feel happy whenever I hear good news from you, knowing life is filled with both pleasures and pains.<br /><br />I really appreciate your friendship and kind words, Lowell, and I feel so honored to be encouraged by such a photographer like you with the wonderful mastery of photographing. I have enjoyed heartfelt interactions with you, visiting your blogs or being visited throughout the year. We are different in many respects but also have many in common. Wish you a peaceful Christmas and a healthy New Year full of smiles.<br /><br />Yokostardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684501661629146087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776527298366574803.post-45615511194995380672009-03-20T11:32:00.000-04:002009-03-20T11:32:00.000-04:00so many people are still wandering to find answers...so many people are still wandering to find answers for these questions... and <BR/>"Where you finally learn<BR/>That everything ends.<BR/><BR/>In the beginning?<BR/>No one knows..."<BR/><BR/> is the answer i think...<BR/>good work..Binoy Mathewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467809942017764667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776527298366574803.post-73263809057541315082009-03-03T21:59:00.000-05:002009-03-03T21:59:00.000-05:00Thank you so much, EG and Nancy...not often I get ...Thank you so much, EG and Nancy...not often I get any comments on this blog (of course, I don't post that often) so your remarks are much appreciated!Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776527298366574803.post-83853813779698226862009-03-03T21:31:00.000-05:002009-03-03T21:31:00.000-05:00This is so beautiful and so true.
