Happy New Year

It was my first new year in Japan. Although I hardly had time to enjoy the Kouhaku Song Competition on TV with my friends in the Omisoka Eve,  it was still a fantastic new year for me. Since I talked with my parents via the internet and welcomed the coming of the new year with two books.

Hope it will be a happy and fantastic year again this year!

Moreover, we are encouraged to live in this world with our heart filled with hope. She behaves like a lighthouse on a cliff, showing us how precious the light is and leading us to go through the darkness.


She left us valuable heritages of her perspiration and courage she held to struggle out of the adversity and her charity for the blind and deaf.
