////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This time, I introduce "祖母"

A grandmother is mother of parents.
This fact is repeated, and we live now.

The love of mother is great.
I think that the most important thing inherited from mother to mother is love (motherhood).

I thank ancestors.


I introduce "a season" from the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
