My Jizo-like father and the mother who watches over him

My father is very quiet.
Since he was young, he hasn't been good at group activities, so I'm sure
he wasn't good at working in a company either.

Even when I invite him to go out for a meal once in a while,
there's almost no reaction, haha.
He is probably happiest
when he is free to be in the rice fields.

Nowadays, it seems that the time he spends growing garden trees and flowers
is the best time for him.


In contrast, my mother is incredibly cheerful.
Or rather than just cheerful, I think she has become strong.
Her boisterous laughter is a moment that truly saves
me and my children.

At first glance, it might look like my mother
wears the pants in the family.

But in reality, she always checks with my father first,
patiently waiting for my Jizo-like father, who doesn't move quickly, to act.
And while saying that he's just like a Jizo statue, she laughs boisterously again.

What a lovely person she is.
Kind and lovely.

I always think so.
My father, who relies on such a mother, is also
heartwarming.

Watching this comedic scene between my father and mother
is very entertaining and makes me happy.

How much longer will I be able to see this scene?
The fact that I was raised by such a father and mother,

I will never forget for the rest of my life.
My beloved father and mother,
I don't say it often, but being born as your

child, although there were many trials,
it is precisely because of that that my life has become rich.
Thank you.
I'll tell you next time we meet.

I went to see the azaleas in full bloom with my mother.
I won't forget today either.

I will not forget the azaleas I saw
with my beloved mother and my beloved children.
Today, too, my sunny spot is holding onto
something precious.
