February 22, 2025 : The Snowy Birthday Gift My Mother Gave Me
© 安岡喜晴 (JoyShine)
Today, it's my birthday.
We had a birthday party at her apartment. Watching the candle flame, we said cheers.
After that, we went to Mos cafe, and took a break for a while.
Then, we went to a restaurant she reserved, and we had a delicious dinner, we celebrated this special day.
On our way home, while walking side by side down the street, the snow quietly began to fall.
The snow was sparkling brilliantly like jewels, under the lights on the street.
Whenever I see snow, I always remember about the day I was born.
Just after I was born, my mother looked outside the window, and noticed it was snowing.
The snow was falling from the sky gently, and she said that the scenery was very impressive to her.
She brought me into this world, put me in the front basket of her bicycle, and we went raspberry picking together.
Sometimes we went to the pond to look for crawfish, and sometimes we went to the woods to look for beetles.
When I look back, I realize lots of memories, and all of those memories have made me who I am today.
So, I would like to say today, thank you for giving me a lot of precious memories.
From the bottom of my heart, I will say thank you.
