A Surprise That Left Me Weak in the Knees and a Heartwarming Message Received on Father's Day Night

Last weekend was a little special for "Coffee Mamebo,"
and for me personally,
it was an intense time where my emotions moved like a roller coaster.
It was a dense period of time.

Actually,
there was an "unexpected surprise."

There was a sudden visit that had been secretly planned
without me knowing at all, just to make me happy and surprise me.

Oh my.
I was so surprised and happy that I collapsed to the floor and felt weak in the knees.

I kept saying, "I'm just too surprised!"
and for a while, my heart wouldn't stop racing, and I felt like I was floating in the air.

On the other hand,
the shop had a busy weekend
with customers rushing in to buy "Father's Day" gifts.

That busy day ended, and it was a Father's Day night where I could finally take a breath.

About a month ago,
I received such a happy message
from a customer who had ordered a Father's Day gift.

👉(Omitted) I just received an email from my father saying, 'The coffee beans arrived. Thank you. It was from a shop I have fond memories of, and I was happy. It's a shop on the cliff carved out by the Hirose River, with a great view, and it's a favorite place I've visited several times.' Having worked near your shop, he seems to have been pleased. I hope to find an opportunity to visit the shop again. Thank you very much for this time. (Continued)

The fact that the scenery of Coffee Mamebo remained vividly in the father's memory
as "the shop on the cliff carved out by the Hirose River."
And the fact that his daughter, remembering that,
thought of her father
and chose a coffee gift from Coffee Mamebo.

As I read the message I received over and over again,
I was so happy, so happy, and my heart was full.

"A surprise for me" and "a Father's Day gift"
might seem like completely different events,
but I realized that these two have something in common.

It is the essence of "what does it mean to make someone happy?"

In both cases, what lies at the root
is the time spent earnestly thinking about "what would make the other person happy."

I want to see the other person's happy face.
With just that single-minded desire, people secretly make plans or choose presents.

I feel I have been reminded once again that those "warm feelings for someone" and the "time" itself
are the essence that fundamentally brings joy to people.

The surprise that made me go soft,
and the coffee beans that made the father smile involuntarily

were both just "triggers" for delivering those warm feelings.

I want Coffee Mamebo to be a place that helps give shape to someone's desire to "make others happy."

And I hope it can continue to be a comfortable place
where such warm feelings flow quietly, yet always.

While basking in the afterglow of these happy events, that is what I felt.
It is truly something to be grateful for, isn't it?

I will deliver coffee roasted with all my heart again this week.
