The day I almost cried at the words of my former shut-in daughter: 'I'm so lucky!'

The other day, I drew lots with my daughter.
With that casual draw—

'Whoa! I won again!!!'

To my surprise, my daughter wonthe first prize!

Actually, my daughter has always been the type to 'win' things.
And lately, she often says things like this.

'I'm just so lucky, aren't I?'she says.

And then we both just burst out laughing ( ´艸｀)

But, seeing my daughter like that right in front of me,
I suddenly thought to myself.

—Back then, I couldn't even imagine a day would come where we could laugh like this.

Unable to leave the house,
no reaction to anything I asked,
and not a smile to be found anywhere back then.

That same daughter is now
saying 'I'm lucky' and laughing out loud.
My heart was so full seeing her like that.

Even if your child can't smile right now,
or won't talk to you about anything,

please try to believe that 'a day like this might come,' because
you don't need any evidencefor that.

By believing that,
mysteriously, your own feelings as a mom, your expressions, your daily life, and your life itself... will change little by little.

You know,'Fortune comes to a laughing home,'as they say, right?

You don't laugh because good things happen.
Good things happen because you are laughing.
