March 😌🎎🌸#ShirokumaLiteratureClub

Speaking of March, it's the Doll Festival

Hina dolls with slightly silly faces

A long time ago, back when you were still healthy

We bought them on our way back from Kyoto, didn't we?

At first glance, both you and I

fell in love with them

Even though we bought these favorite Hina dolls,

we only brought them out on the day of the festival each year

It felt like such a waste to put them away right away,

so we would keep them on display

until after the festival, when the cherry blossoms bloomed

You used to often say,

"If you're slow to put the Hina dolls away,

you'll be late to get married,"

but as you started going in and out of the hospital,

before I knew it,

you stopped saying things like that

When I started coming home from work at noon,

the time we spent together increased,

and you told me, "This is the happiest I've ever been"

I realized you must have been feeling lonely and anxious for a long time

That was when I realized it

Right now, from inside that small Buddhist altar

Can you see this small

Hina doll with the slightly silly face?

I'm sorry for being late to take them out again this year

I will keep them displayed until the cherry blossoms bloom

So please forgive me

To Mother🐥

Today, I took out the Hina dolls.
They are Hina dolls with a slightly silly, charming expression🎎✨
Looking at the Hina dolls reminds me of my mother, so I wrote a letter to her😌🐥✨
