The “sen” in “Senri” means “May your life be rich and fruitful, filled with many encounters,” and the “ri” means “May you be warm, lovable, and well-liked by all.”
I feel that time spent together as a family is very precious and flows slowly. Although it can be confusing as it is my first time raising a child, I try to hold my son tight and shower him with love.
I think that the environment in which people such as fellow moms and dads, neighbors, and people I meet on the train or in stores talk to me and laugh with me is something that is only possible now while raising a child.
My only wish is that my son’s life will be rich and precious, with many encounters and lessons to learn.
