My mother died of illness on December 17, two years of hardship, and she has been relieved since then.

This is a private matter, but many friends care about it, so let me talk about it here.

I love her very much and I am sad.

Regarding this, I thought about whether to write something or not, but I thought about the sentence quoted in the opening chapter of the night—the joys and sorrows of human beings are never connected, and nothing more.

I will rest and be sad for some time, trying to remember some things more firmly.

At the same time I wish you all very well.
