I visited my family in Osaka. I only bought the sweets for my family and didn’t buy any sweets for my wife at home so she got really mad!

Konigs-Krone is the one of her favorites.

I have to be careful not to forget about my wife.

The funeral is over.

It was a long day.

The funeral started at 10am and lasted until 2pm.

We all thanked everyone for coming and saying goodbye to my mom.

I will see my dad tomorrow before I get back to work on Thursday.

It was a very nice gathering of the night after my mom’s death.

Old neighbors, her friends and her brother’s families mourned for her death.

The ceremony was not all sad and oppressive.

People talked about nice stories about her, sharing memories among the family members.

Some of those memories were never knew, made me surprised and feel good about myself and her.

After the priest’s sutra, we had dinner and drinks.

I and my wife left there around 10pm.

Tomorrow I will hold my mom’s picture for the funeral.

I would like to thank you to people who have stooped by and read my blog.
I would like to thank those who left me some comments, osakan1, and ぱぶろふ37.

My mom is deceased in the afternoon at the hospital.

All the family members gathered, standing around her bedside, watching her gone peacefully.

No sign of pain or no groan. I watched her chest up and down rhythmically.

Just before 2 pm the rhythm of her breath was slowed down, followed by a deep breath and she went to sleep forever.

I was not crying, found myself very calm.

When she was conscious about half a month ago, I and mom had a time just together at the hospital.

I told her while I was holding her hand I was sorry for doing what I wanted all the time and not caring about my mom.

She looked at me straight from the bed and said, “That is what everyone does when growing up. It is OK. Don’t worry.”

The sight was blurred by the tears going down from my eyes.

She asked, “Are you happy now?” “Yes,” I replied.

“That is important. I am glad to hear that. That is all I need to hear,” she said and gave me some tissue with her very thin hand.

I wiped my face and said, “Thank you, mom. Please rest yourself.”

She nodded with her eyes half closed and went to sleep.

After this visit she became incoherent and sometimes unconscious unable to speak. That was the precious moment I shared with my mom.

The mileage is about 400km so far.

The highest fuel consumption reading on the on board display reads 20km/l!

That is higher than the catalog says.

I am looking forward to seeing how much the real fuel consumption will be.

That will be calculated after the stop at the gas station.
