Something very special was going to happen on that day.

Sayako was a child who would be the first to come to me serenely and say, 'Don't mind,' whenever I was disappointed about a mistake I had made or about something that had happened unexpectedly.

While creating as quiet an environment as possible, I would like to watch over the recovery of the Crown Princess.

I hope that even in your new life you will continue to be a good member of society while looking after your household.
