mourning day

Today I wrote about my rabbit Mikebo's death(in may) on my Japanese web journal. I have not wanted to talk about it in my native language for a while so waited about a month to announce it to my local friends. And writing about it of course made me remember Mikebo, miss her again, feel thankfully not a piercing pain I once had but quiet & deep sorrow. Luckily I have no regret about what I've done for her so at least I can remember her peacefully.


But if the death of someone we love is a tragic one, the memory might be very painful. I know I should not compare my rabbit's death with human's but I cannot help thinking of it...

Today, 6/18, is the 100th day after the disaster of 3/11. In many places in the devastated area in Tohoku people have memorial services today. It is raining now. The sad, gloomy, mourning day...
