I was planning to visit the grave of my mother’s natal home. However, some serious affair prevented me from it.
昨日は母の実家の墓参りをするつもりでいましたが、別の要件のために行けませんでした。

The task for today’s practice session was a calendar for the year 2019.
As you can see, the last stroke of the letter 『DREAM 夢』is still missing.
I am going to ask my mother to finish the letter when we practice together next time.

After dinner on the eve of harvest moon, I went out for a short walk with my mother on her wheel chair and was in an ill temper a little, hoping she would feel better. As she was appreciating the huge, beautiful moon, she obviously began to feel better and peaceful.

中秋の名月の前夜、食事の後で、ちょっとご機嫌斜めの母と夜の車椅子散歩に出ました。大きくて綺麗なお月さんを見ているうちに母の心もほどけて行きました。

These are the results of today’s practice session; copying practice and having a fun writing on a paper fan. For the latter, I chose the first letter of my mother’s name, 絹(silk).

Year after year, a kind neighborhood lady gives us gorgeous hydrangea flowers. Just for a moment I thought of bringing them to my mother’s hospital bedroom. However, I changed my mind, since she will be back in a couple of days.
