Last night, Gigi tweeted a reflection on the past five months.
If Lily wasn't here... I probably wouldn't have gone for walks in the morning and evening.
That's why I don't think I made any Japanese friends.
If Lily wasn't there, I'd just be walking past her without really noticing.
Because Lily was there, it started with 'good morning''Hello', and gradually the circle expanded, and I was able to greet families with children.
Gigi was also able to have some skin-to-skin contact with the baby she loves so much.
If I hadn't gone to Japanese language school, I probably wouldn't have gone out on my own.
That's probably why I couldn't make any Filipino friends.
When I faced a crisis where I had to return to the Philippines due to incomplete paperwork, it was those same friends who came to my rescue.
I am where I am today because of that friend.
