@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. lovely I had a nice dream ~. (sorry) … my memory of father…is till when I was 8 years old. My father was a surgeon. My grandfather,too. Both of them graduated from Iwate Ika Daigaku. My father died when I was 8 years old at his hospital(my grandfather established)… my lovely papa. 😭 I still don’t forget. …to be continued ~ 😀How is your day? I just had tears ~. Anyway life is still going on to us. Let’s go for today and tomorrow! with smile 😊
That's right. Going out is stimulating and allows them to walk and communicate, and yesterday my daughter's boyfriend paid for lunch, saying, "Let me treat you once in a while." 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thanks a bunch for sharing your story with Oni-chan.🙇 That's a very sad story.😭😭😭😭😢 Your father must have thought you were very adorable when you were 8 years old.👨⚕️👧🥰 Today Yumiko should offer a white rose to your late father.🌼🌿 Oni-chan want to know "...to be continued 〜".🤭 Have a nice weekend.🏊♀️🚶♀️💦🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. I would like to say hello to my father, “Happy Father’s Day”. 💐 Every day is coming. We have a good day together. with smile 😊
Yes. He is my daughter's husband. She was a little embarrassed, but later she told me that she had treated me to a "Father's Day" meal. I'm so happy. 🐰💗
Mother's Day and Father's Day are events where you give something to show your appreciation. I'm still a new son, so I'm happy that he treated me to a meal.🐰💗
I misinterpreted it a little🤏, but I've only just met my daughter's husband, but he treated me to a meal on both Father's Day and Mother's Day. I'm so happy. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ How nice! So…your daughter will get marry with him. She needs your permission. Still ~ you will communicate with them. I had a experience,too! 👍 Good day together! with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) My daughters have already gotten married in April. 🏠️They couldn't find a house, but 🏠️ they were able to buy a house. Although they are not living together yet, they are living at their parents' houses until the electric appliances, furniture, etc. are brought in and they can live. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Ok…after they got married, they have not lived together?! you said ~ He is busy, your daughter is also busy,too. It happens. Just focus for them with your warm eyes 👀 ! They are just young. We used to be~. 👌good day today and tomorrow! with smile 😊
Yes, my daughter and her husband concentrated on their day off and looked at necessities for the kids, and my husband and I joined them in selecting the big items for the big purchases. There are still many things that the kids will use. It looks like the busy days will continue for a while. 🐰💗
