On Sunday, there was an earthquake in my hometown. Here was a magnitude 4.  Earthquakes often happen in Japan, so I wasn’t surprised at all. I woke up once, then went back to sleep.

In the morning, I went to a memorial service with my parents. It’s been 22 years since my grandmother passed away.

I booked a rental car and drove to the temple. The temple is located in the countryside.  It was peaceful. The weather was nice.

日曜日に、地震がありました。ここは、震度4。マグニチュードと震度って違うみたいだけど…日本ではよく地震があるから、私は全然驚かなかった。揺れに慣れてるんだろうなぁ。一度目が覚めて、また寝ました。眠かったし…

朝は、両親と一緒に法事へ。祖母が亡くなって22年。

お寺までは、レンタカーを借りて運転しました。田舎の方にあるから、のどかなところ。天気も良かったです。

    A peaceful and meaningful day indeed. I hope you and your family were safe during the earthquake. Visiting your grandmother’s resting place after 22 years must have brought back many precious memories. Such family traditions remind us that although our loved ones may no longer be with us, their memories and blessings remain in our hearts.
