マレーシアでの活躍につながる

このところ古い写真の記事のことを書きました。その写真の祖父が日露戦争に出征する前に故郷の吉野に帰ったときに、そこにある祠にお参りして境内の小石を胸ポケットに入れていて弾丸から命を守ったというエピソードを7月28日Miracle stoneという記事で紹介しました。

この夏、娘は同じ祠で小石を拾ってバックに入れてマレーシアに向かいました。120年のつながりを感じます。

マレーシアでの活躍、きっと曾じいちゃんも見守ってくれる。Recently I mentioned some old photos and the episode that my grandfather picked up a small stone at a site of a shrine in his hometown and kept it in his chest pocket as a talisman during the Japan Russia War.

When we visited the shrine and my daughter picked up a small stone there. As a matter of fact, she left Japan for Malaysia keeping the stone in her bag this summer.

I feel that her great grandfather’s good luck  has been handed down to her over 120 years leading to her successful life in Malaysia.

1902年(明治35年)123年前のGrandpa

I found my grandfather’s photo in the drawer taken in 1902 that is 123 years ago. I think it was when he was drafted.

I successfully read the name of the photo studio and its location at the bottom of the photo frame.

I tried to find them with Google map and I can guess roughly where they were but no more such a name of studio seems to be there.

My mother

We are having my mother’s memorial service  today inviting a monk. 

If you ask me what kind of person she was,

I can say she was a very tender and conscientious person. She was the person who taught me how to behave properly as a human.

I still remember her teaching when I feel I step a wrong way.

Thank you for your love to me.

I will try to live the way you taught me.

今日は母の命日、お坊様を招いてささやかな法事をします。母がどんな人か聞かれたら、非常に優しくて良心の人だったと答えます。

私に人としての正い行いを教えてくれた人。

間違った方向に向かいそうになったときは母の教えを思い出します。

愛を注いでくれてありがとう!

これからもお母さんが教えてくれた道を行きます。
