The BEST present that I ever received

Hello, everyone.

I have received many many presents
from my family, and friends!
Especially, this year's my birthday,
my friends held a surprise birthday party for me.
I was so happy, I cried a lot!
Thanks, guys ;D

But..
the best present that I received is..


Birth of my younger sister.


This was
when I was an elementary school student,
(5th grader)

And when I came back home from English cram school,
I said "I'm home!" (Tadaima!)

at that time, my mother said to me,
"Welcome home, elder sister!" (Okaeri, One-chan!)

I thought ..

? ? ?

Because I was just a younger sister,
so I said,
"e??? Kaori yade :( ?"
I thought my mother regarded me as my elder sister,
Sayuri.

My mother laughed, and I noticed.

A baby borns to our family!!
I was so surprised, also, I was happy.

My younger sister, Haruka was born.

At that time, I was in a hospital
and prayed for my mother.
Giving birth requires energy, patience and more!
I respect for my mother.

Since now,
I have received a lot of presents,
and all of these made me happy,
but the birth of my younger sister is something special for me,
and for our family :o)

I love my family!

And also, I am so happy to be with you all,
so lots of love to you !

I am so happy to be a member of English15!
Thanks, thanks a lot :)

See~~~you~~~ <3
