Hello, my name is Ikumi. I’m 35 years old. I live in Okinawa with my family because my husband and I liked this town when we visited here, so we decided to live inhere 10 years ago. I have two children and they are so cute but they become a naughty boy and girl. The boy is 10 years old, named Jun and the girl is 8 years old, named Aki.
My husband is an office worker, and sometimes he goes to Tokyo for a new project. He often tells me our house is the best!! When I hear that, I always feel happy. His parents live in Kumamoto, they want to live with us. I know that Kumamoto is a good place, but I want to spend a few years here because my children love Okinawa’s sea, food and friends. Moving is hard for my children but I want them to become stronger
and make more friends.
Recently, I got a letter from my old friend. According to her letter, my high school will hold the meeting of the graduates of the school this summer. 17 years ago, we graduated from Tamana High School, I often met some friends but there are people who I don’t know what happened. If I go to the meeting, maybe some friends will be surprised because my husband was also their classmate!
When I was 18 years old, I didn’t think this man would become my husband. Nobody knows about their own life, so life is interesting. Now I’m just an office worker, but I can’t see my future too. I may become a president or die tomorrow. So, I want to live hard everyday for my family, for myself. I have a theory that I can do my best if I faced hard things. Laughing with my family or friends, it is an important time for me because that time is my treasure and my essential things.
