In Japan we express our thanks to the God when our children reach to the age of three, five and seven. Gen has become three years old this year, so we paid a visit to a shrine to be thankful for his healthy growth.
While the Shinto priest was doing the ceremony, I couldn't hold my tears because these three years have flashed back on my mind from the very beginning of my pregnancy, giving birth, first smile, first crawl, first step, first word,,,, and my husband felt the same. I saw him put a handkerchief on his eyes.
It was really a precious day.
