Time capsule

122011 Begonia watercolor F6 of the month

I received an envelope from my younger brother who is at home.。ah、The example document has been created.、I casually looked at the front and saw that the address was my son's name.。What is it?

A postcard was included along with a simple letter from my brother.、What he showed me was、I wrote this when my son was in the 4th grade of elementary school.、ten years later、It was a postcard addressed to me when I was 20 years old.。I was told to write down a valid address even after 10 years.、I wrote down my parents' address.。Personally, I'm sure I'll move (rather)、The desire to do so) is also visible there.。

Even my younger brother seemed taken aback.、It seems that not only us, but also the person himself had completely forgotten about it.。The postcard had a photo printed on it when the three of us went to Nasu.。Take the picture yourself using a tripod、At school, he wrote on postcards that he printed himself using a computer.。

ten years is short。From our parents' point of view、Children only grow physically, but their insides don't seem to have grown at all.。But the kid was 10 years old when he wrote that.。A future with the same length as your life up to that point, etc.、It must be far, far away。That's true even in light of my own memories.。

At the end of the postcard, it says, ``Dad.、I wonder how your mother is doing?。I hope he's not dead.''。For children、parents are more important than the country、closer than society、He is an irreplaceable person who protects me through my blood.。Without it, we cannot build dreams for the future.。parent's misfortune、bad luck、Incompetence casts a shadow on a child's future.。for a moment、What kind of umbrella should I carry?、I searched my heart to see what kind of shadow it was casting.。

The children who lost their parents in the Great East Japan Earthquake lost even that shadow.、I think again。What does "I hope I'm not dead" mean?、It also shows that children feel this reality in their hearts.。Ten years from now, you may feel unlucky and think, ``I wish my father had been a more socially decent person.''。

Children can't choose their parents。That's why children themselves need ideals.。I don't like children who respect their parents (they don't respect them before that)。(From a child's perspective) As long as parents provide food and money, that's enough.。Using parents as a stepping stone、If you can create your own world, that's fine.。I'm thinking of leaving a time capsule for myself 10 years from now.。 2012/1/28

Ominato (Ominato)

Maritime Self Defense Force big scrape the base of 2012 the first month

2 minutes by car from the hospital where I went to take care of my father、Maritime Self-Defense Force Ominato Inspector General Headquarters (former Japanese Navy Ominato Base 60 years ago)。The beginning of the Pacific War、It seems that the combined fleet for the attack on Pearl Harbor was assembled here)。It is currently the Ominato/Hokkaido Area Headquarters of the Maritime Self-Defense Force.。Evening of January 3rd、A calm winter day for the first time in a while、This photo was taken when I stopped by on my way home from the hospital.。

When I was in elementary school、There was a group called the Marine Boys.。I was thin and lanky, but I was attracted to the strong image of a ``sea man'' and aspired to join the group.。I learned the flag signals quickly (and for some reason I still remember them).。I used to admire white officer uniforms, but now it seems like a dream.、Looking at the ship、I'm still kind of nervous。

I'm from a generation that doesn't know about war.。But when I talked about my parents when I was a child, I think there were a lot of stories about them being involved in the war.。Less than 20 years after the war,、The memory must have still been fresh.。

for the country、for parents。That's how I looked at my grandfather and parents, who couldn't look at themselves.。I'm sorry for that.、I'll live my way、I used to laugh off my parents' concerns.、When it comes to my own children,、I'm shocked as well.。

The base's bugle sounded。I have already forgotten the meaning of each trumpet.。   2012/1/16

 

 

 

Recall about snow

 

冬の下北(Simokita in winter)2012

Shimokita、No, the snowy scenery is beautiful, not just in Shimokita.。It is often referred to as a monochrome world.、I tend to think like that、If I look back at my own experience,、Everyone will remember that this was never the case.。

the other day、Touch this snowy landscape、I wrote that I felt like I had gone home to retrieve something I had forgotten.。That's certainly true。As a junior high school student, I didn't study much at all.、I became obsessed with trapping rabbits, woodcock, etc.、On the way、I almost lost my skiing twice.、During my trip home, I talked about it with my younger brother and mother almost every night.。They are ingrained somewhere in my body.、When I saw snow like this, I could feel myself getting excited.。without my father、2、I might have gone out to set a rabbit trap on the 3rd.。most、I'm sure I wouldn't have even returned home if it wasn't for that.。

When I first started drawing seriously、After using various colors、I kept thinking that the ending was monochrome after all.、It's probably because I've seen scenery like this before.。Before I knew it, I was caught up in life、I had even forgotten that。Someone once said that I was a "fantasy writer."。That's probably true。For some reason, I've felt that way since I was a very small child.。snow fosters fantasy。Snow country is fortunate。
