おばあちゃんへ,

成人式の日、いつかおばあちゃんがさくらに着物を着せてくれるのをずっと想像してたよ。 けど、人生っていつも思い通りにはいかないものだね。
おばあちゃんが亡くなってからもう二年。今でもよく、おばあちゃんとの思い出や、自分の日本人としてのルーツを思い返してるよ。
東京で過ごした毎夏、着物を手縫いして生活していたおばあちゃんに、手縫いの仕方を教えてもらったこと、よく覚えてるよ。 お母さんは、さくらがいつでもおばあちゃんと話せるようにって、日本語を学ばせてくれた。 今でも、おばあちゃんのいない東京の家に帰るのはつらい。
今日は、お母さんが二十歳のときにおばあちゃんが作ってくれた着物を、さくらが初めて日本の学校に通った場所で着ることができた。
今日はおばあちゃんに着せてもらうことはできなかったけど、 子どものころから何度もおばあちゃんに着物を着せてもらって、成人の日を楽しみにしてたこと、 そしておばあちゃんが生きているうちに、さくらの着物姿を見てくれたことに感謝してる。
思い描いてたようにはいかないこともあるけど、 この痛みの中にも、感謝がたくさんある。 おばあちゃんが育ったこの素敵な国で、元気で幸せに過ごせていることを、毎日うれしく思う。
おばあちゃん、大好きだよ。

Some reflections on a small piece of Kai’s life that I was lucky enough to know.

Kai, what a privilege it was to share memories with you, to learn from your way of moving through the world, to look up to you with genuine inspiration, and ultimately call you a friend.

May we all continue to find some joy and comfort in sharing our favourite memories of Kai❤️‍🩹 #livelikekai by @sakura.lord

Consistent storm cycles have been rolling through BC over the last few weeks with Whistler local @sakura.lord taking advantage.

Big snow = Big cliffs
