Happy Mother’s Day! ☆

Happy Mother’s Day! ☆
Regardless of all the serious messages and (noble) philosophy here, the primitive motivation of me (Atsushi) continuing Sashiko is (was) to keep my mother busy with Sashiko – the Sashiko she likes. When my father passed away, we thought of having her in the US so we could “care”. However, we both understood that the “care” we can do for my mother was to keep providing her “jobs” and “opportunities” to create her Sashiko pieces and meet new people who loves Sashiko. Although we do not live together, this Sashi.Co project – a project of mother and son, connect us and let us create something with a lot of “care”
☆
A present is great for mother’s day. More importantly, tell her “that you care”. My mother once used to say that the happiness of a child (me or my brother) is better than any present. I became a parent, and I 100% understand what my mother told me. Happy Mother’s day for anyone who is a mother, anyone who helps mother as a partner, and anyone who has a mother. Just share your care to “mother” you have, hopefully with motherly stitch (as known as Sashiko). (^з<)ー ☆ 母の日。一緒に「仕事」をしているので、優しく接するよりも厳しく接してしまう事が多い母親ですが、いつまでも斜め45度上の成長を続けてくれるのが嬉しいのです。親父が亡くなった時に「（息子夫婦に）甲斐甲斐しく世話をされるよりも、毎日を楽しめるだけの刺激の方が恵子さんは欲しいんじゃないか？」と、暗に聞いて、6年後の今、形にできていて嬉しく思います。NYCでファッション勉強している人が、わざわざ高山の恵子さん宅を訪れるとか（笑）恵子さん、友達沢山できたかな（普段は一人での仕事が多くて申し訳ないですが、ま、刺し子はそんなもんだ）。母の日、おめでとう。 ☆
