☆ Serious story ☆

It ’s a little dark, but
It made me think about life.

The other day my acquaintance died.

I haven't seen him for 15 years
I attended the funeral because the kindness he gave me at that time was memorable.

Fifteen years ago I was practicing halfpipe before becoming a professional in the United States.
At that time, he was the only Goofy (in front of his right foot) like me.
So I asked him to fly first, and I thought, "I'll fly higher than Waka-chan!"

Then, a few days later, I was told, "Mari, don't follow me anymore, you're flying in front of me! Stop it, lol."

I don't know if he really flew higher than him
That's why he makes me confident and happy
I was glad that he understood and told me.

I've read it in some book, but "people lose everything when they die.
But that person's kind words and compassionate behavior will continue to live in people's hearts even if that person dies. "

When I went to the funeral, a common acquaintance told me, "Waka was also coming to see Kumiyama Japan hosted by Mari."

"Waka-chan was coming. He thought I was doing my best."
The reality that the reunion for the first time in 15 years was in the casket seemed very sad.
But I'm glad I knew it.

On my way home, I bought a book like this.

I don't usually read books like this and don't want to think about it,
Waka-chan, who is one level higher, died of pancreatic cancer.

I also wanted to think about my death.

This book is amazing.It was a really good book.

Because everyone thinks they won't die
I wasted a limited amount of time,

Don't go on an adventure for fear of failure.

If you die six months later, how would you like to live every day?
If you live every day like that
It was written how I would change.

Above all, the story of Instructor Fujii, who raised the Kamikaze corps, was shocking.
It was a life that was really too sad and too sad.
When I read it, I could feel the harshness of those days.
But I want you to read this too.
Because it was a story that really happened.

As many as 4400 young people became kamikaze units.
I gave up my life not for myself but for the future of Japan.
For the future of Japan and the children of the future.
There are people who have died for us.

Don't forget that
It was a story that made me want to live with gratitude and cherishing every day.

If you have a chance, please read this book.
I want to thank you for everything.
