Mother has grown weak and now it seems to be more and more difficult for her to eat tough food. This is an example of a lunch plate in August last year she enjoyed.

I read somewhere that it is good for you to start something new for taking this opportunity. However, no good ideas came into my mind. I only thought about growing more flowers in our garden to please my mother.

何か新しいことを始めるといいらしいですが、名案が浮かびません。母を喜ばせるために、庭に草花を増やそうかと思うだけです。

Nail polish on mother’s nails!? マニキュアですって!?

6.4

Mother came back from the day care facility with manicured nails, which she has hated all her life. I think I must conclude, to my greatest disappointment, that she is turning into another personality.

デイサービスで、マニキュアをしてもらって帰ってきました。そんなこと、大嫌いだった母が。やはり、母が母でなくなっているのだな、と思いました。
