A Brief Moment of Togetherness

My daughter
came home
yesterday because mykintsugiteacher
teacherwas holding a
workshopand she wanted to participate.

I joined her and
we made
brooches using sea tiles and
scraps.

The finished productsare here.

After finishing

Facing them,the one on the left is my daughter'swork,
and the one on the right is mine.

It was my daughter'sfirst time trying kintsugiand

she was so happy,saying

it was really fun!!

The other reason for her visit

was that on Respect for the Aged Day last month,my daughter called my father

and he said, "We haven't met in a while," so she decided she wanted to

have dinner with my father, who lives alone.

She is currently working on a project and barely getting any sleep, so I was so happy that she went out of her way to come home for this. I know I'm a doting parent, but I felt so glad that she

grew up to be such a kind person.

Brunch was
my husband's homemade

blue mentaiko pasta.

We
orderedthe

blue mentaiko

The refreshing spicinessis
likely to become
addictive.

In the afternoon, the three of us
will go shopping and
drive my daughter
home.

Even if it's a short time,
it's a very enjoyable
autumn day.
