No one would have died in hopes. I should have wanted to live more and more somehow. That&#8217;s why I made an effort to live until the very end. However, when I learned that it wouldn&#8217;t come true, I think I died in prayer for the safety of my family. Also, the bereaved family would have wanted to say a word at the end.

About two weeks later, short-length daffodils, which seemed to shrink in the cold, began to bloom in the garden. A few daffodils and pussy willows were put in a cup and her wife put them in a camp. When 311 comes, I remember that day with daffodil flowers and tears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people were killed that day seven years ago.
