My Day-6 in Japan.
***
This morning, same as yesterday, I woke up at 6:30 am naturally without the help of an alarm clock. My daughter was sound asleep. I didn’t want to wake her up by my moving around, so I stayed in bed with her for a while.
By the time we got out from bed around 7 am, my friend was in the kitchen cooking breakfast. My friend’s daughter was already gone. She went for the dance practice at school.

My friend took us to the kids’ entertainment place where we could enjoy creative activities. There, we finger-painted on the surface of a plastic capsule. We also created some artworks with clay. It was fun to touch real clay which was cold and heavy.

By the time we came back to my friend’s home, her daughter was back home.
Around 2 pm we left for Nagoya station. Today we were heading for our last destination.
I was glad my friend’s daughter joined us to the trip to Nagoya. My daughter had been alone in the back seat until then. Now she had a company to sit together in the back seat. My friend’s daughter and my daughter seemed to have fun together. I heard their laughter all the way to our destination.
At the time of parting from them, I was planning to leave with a smile. I didn’t want to weep in front of them. When I was about to leave from my friend, she quickly grabbed my arm and pulled it toward her, and hugged me tightly. “Oh no, please don’t do that” I thought to myself. I am easily moved to tears. Her tight hug made me cry. But I was not the only one crying. My friend was crying too. Yep, she is also easily moved to tears. It was hard for me to leave. After we hugged each other for a while, I put a smile on my face and parted from her. My daughter was crying too. She had a great time with them.
My daughter and I kept on walking. After we took quite a few steps, I thought they already left. I turned back. They were still there, waving toward us. That scenery made me cry even more.
Both of I and my daughter ended up getting on Shinkansen, weeping…

After I wept for a while, I must have fallen asleep. I woke up by my daughter’s exciting voice. “Mom, look! I think that is Mount Fuji.” Thanks to my daughter, I didn’t miss watching Mt. Fuji. I was touched by the scenery of Mt. Fuji. I felt like being embraced by warm energy. It must be Mt. Fuji emitting everybody its unconditional love.

We arrived at Shin-Yokohama station in the evening. At the ticket gate, my friend and her daughter were waiting for us, waiving to us. At the sight, I could not stop my tears falling down. Yes, I cried again. I am such a cry baby.
I was so happy to see them again. My daughter and her daughter were also very happy to see each other again and started playing together right away.

We had so much fun on our first night. I didn’t know how quickly time went by. When my friend’s husband suggested us to go to bed, it was already 11:43 pm. We didn’t know it was close to midnight.
Now we are with my friend and her family. We are now in the safe place with them. I knew she would heal our body and mind during our stay at her house. I was so relieved. I had a sound sleep at her house.
