I woke up feeling good. I don’t remember if my mom visited me in my dream or not. She probably did. All I remember about my dream of this morning was I was camping and having a good time with my many friends.
I cried a lot last night. My eyes are still swollen. I am glad I don’t have any appointments today. I don’t need to see anybody today. I just want to spend my day calm and peaceful.
As of yesterday, the weather report said we would have a rainy all day today. It said an 80 percent chance of rain. As of yesterday evening, the sky was entirely covered by rain clouds.
However, the weather report turned to be wrong. This morning I woke up with nice sunny sun-shine.
While I was hanging our laundry at the backyard, I enjoyed the warm sun light on my back. There was a gentle breezes. The breezes rang somebody’s outside bells. The bells gave off the gentle tones. It sounded as a blessing bell for my mom’s departure.

My family held a wake at the night of March 3rd.
In the evening I talked with my cousin and my life-long friend on the phone. Both of them cried for my mom and shared all their memories about my mom.
Listening all the stories about my mom that I never knew was a great comfort for me. I was happy to know my mom had shared all her kindness to my cousin and friend.
I cannot attend the wake and the funeral due to the influence of coronavirus. So, the conversation with my cousin and friend was like a wake for me.
I am thankful to know that my mom was loved by many people.

My cousin and friend told me about the toilet paper issue in Japan. Even in their places where is not widely affected by coronavirus, people are experiencing lacking of toilet papers due to some peoples’ buying-ups. My cousin just delivered one for my parents on last Saturday. My cousin told me when he was visiting my parents on Saturday, my mom was still fine. She could talk normally.

In my area, I haven’t seen any goods or foods out of stock in the local stores, and the situation is not that bad as that of Japan. But still, going back to Japan is risky for me.
One of our neighbor just came back from Hawaii where her parents and siblings live. She was quarantined for some days to have the health check for coronavirus. I hope things will calm down soon so that everything will get back to normal.
