My father around my age;

Hello friends; father's day is coming and my admiration to every father who is sweet to his children and supportive full-heartedly when they need help from him.

My father in his late 50's (probably) in this picture. I was lucky he loved catching up with new things (like electric-appliances, motorcycle, car etc.) when I was brought up. About 45 years ago, he bought me cassette recorder for my learning English, also tennis rackets for us and played tennis with me at near by empty lot.       Your deep affection and concern about my well-being was treasure for me. You made me so glad to hear you telling your friend that you feel proud of me that I did my best in the "English play" at the school cultural festival. Wishing your condition get better after admitted.

  1. What a lovely tribute to your father, Miyako. He is a good man! My father died in 1985 when I was 27. I had just had my first child the year before, so at least he got to know that grandson. My second child was born later, and I named him after my father. Sending good thoughts to you, my dear!

  7. Wow Miyako san. What a sweet post for your father. His word to his friend that he felt proud of you must have made you so happy. I would be very happy...I think that's the greatest compliment for kids :-) What a wonderful father he is.

  8. Dearest Miyako,
    What a lovely post! Sure your Dad must have mighty proud of you when he was telling his friend about your excellent ability in English; play and otherwise.
    It is always bittersweet when one's Dad has been admitted to the hospital and we reflect on better times that lay behind. But the sweet memories are worth it; whatever heartache is coming our way.
    Hugs,
    Mariette
