I appreciate all of the messages for the previous Story announcing the cancellation of the last Live Streaming. I feel better enough to have a Live Streaming this morning (in Japanese). Since I do not have a sense of “Full-Recovery”… or since I don’t even know how many days I need to “take off” to fully recover, this is the status I am okay with. As long as I do not trouble others (like fainting or vomiting, and of course Covid positive), I try to find a way to function. Interestingly, I wasn’t like this. I became like this after I immigrated. My wife was born in Ukraine, then moved to Israel, and the US for university, then became a US citizen (I cannot respect her enough for her effort). I am a Japanese who decided to ride on her journey (in terms of immigrant situation). Our only daughter is a US citizen, but we do not have a big or many family around us. In ordinary cases, we complete as a family of 3. We are happy that way – although sometimes we wish to have our parents nearby (and they wish to have us nearby) to split the burdens. Well, it is what immigrantion is about – going somewhere unfamiliar with adjusting ourselves into.

I know the challenge of being an immigrant. Therefore, I would like to leave something behind for those who went through the similar difficulty, especially for those who are looking for their “roots”. I don’t want their roots to be repainted by someone who knows almost nothing about the culture… What I do is not really “a job”, I guess, although I receive money for that. “Leaving something behind” is what I do, and all I try is to be “someone” who I wished to have when I was a child. A Denim Stitched by her father, modeled by her mother. I hope my daughter will find this writing “interesting” in 2040 or so.

本日の配信もありがとうございました！体調不良はずーっと続いていて、でも無理をしていない為か「休むぞ！」っていう気合が入るほど具合が悪くなるのは久々で、英語の配信はお休みさせて貰いました。昔はもっと「休む」ことが上手だったような気がするのですが、きっと「移民」になったからかもしれません。家族が海も言語も超えて遠い所にいると、なかなか頼ることを選択肢に入れられず。それでも、何かを娘に残していけるように頑張っていけたらなぁと思っています。沢山のコメント&DMありがとうございます。しっかり拝読しております。
