Interview just before Mother's Day 2022!
We will talk to mothers, the main characters of Mother's Day.
We asked a female staff member at Takenaka Garden Greening, which runs hanna .
What does Mother's Day mean to your mother?
Mr. N
Since my children are still young, I tend to give them to them.
I don't have much of an image to offer...
Mother's Day is a wonderful day to express gratitude to your mother.
But one time the kids gave me one as a gift, and I was so happy!
Mr. F
I'm looking forward to Mother's Day, but I don't want my children to know that I'm excited about it.
It's May and I'm feeling a bit anxious, wondering if they've prepared a present for me .
But I always feel at ease because my kind dad prepares presents for me and the children give them to me.
Birthdays start on the day you are born and come equally to everyone.
But Mother's Day is "Mom's Birthday" that begins after you become a mother.
For me, Mother's Day is a day when I feel like I'm being tested a little, wondering, "Am I being a good mother?"
"Thank you for making dinner!"
"Thank you for working!"
I keep the letters I receive from my children every year.
Mr. K
When May comes, Chimu Dondon!
Sometimes there are gifts and sometimes there aren't.
When they're not there , I worry a lot, wondering if they're busy .
Whenever I receive a gift, I call immediately to thank them.
"My present arrived!"
But the truth is, I wanted to hear about my son's latest news.
It's also an opportunity to make phone calls, since it's difficult to do so on a regular basis.
Mother's Day is an important day for me because it allows me to connect with my son.
I don't often hear stories about being a mother at work, so when I do, they are all heartwarming.
" Mom" That's wonderful!
Finally, I asked my mother.
For me, Mother's Day is the day when I can truly feel that my children acknowledge their mother's existence.
When I was little, rather than giving gifts, I would wear fake carnations on my chest at school.
I remember seeing lots of children walking around with carnations on their chests on Mother's Day.
I'm so happy to receive a gift for Mother's Day.
But what makes me happiest is spending time with my children, whether it's eating out or going shopping with my grandchildren.
Mother's Day for my mother.
It was an embarrassing voice, a voice you don't usually get to hear from your mother.
Mother's Day is a day to remember, whether you're far away or close by.
This is a day that can be an opportunity to cherish the time you spend with your mother.
May 8th is the day for all mothers.
A special day for mom.
"Thank you so much, Mom!"
I was happy, embarrassed, and relieved!
May it be filled with the smiles of many mothers.
