Dear Hiroki,
The images and sounds of your memory of your father moved me beyond words. I am near the age of 就木之年, becoming undisturbed by human emotions, but the love between you and your father touched my heart and I wanted to cry. The memory of his teaching, inspiration, fun and enjoyment will forever give you comfort, and your loss of him indeed brought sorrow. But above all human passion, love and care is the true meaning of life, which is what your father passed on to you. Love and care transcend time and space, and he is with you always as long as you too take it as the true meaning in your own life.
Take this baton from your loving father and continue the track he started on your own journey and never drop the love and care he gave you. Hiroki, you are fortunate to have a good partner running along with you. She too believes this true meaning of life, and she will encourage you when you feel tired and help you to stay on track.
Thank you for sharing such good memory of your father, and again my deepest condolences to you and your mother.
