I have just received a very sad news, the lost of an 'angel on the earth'

When i went to Japan, my first experience of life abroad, i used to go to study Japanese Language by volunteer people, which gave free lessons to foreigner in a school organized by the major of the city.

I met there Momoi-San. She understood the difficulty and the problem of a person who lives abroad for the first time, especially in a country where at beginning i could not communicate, may be because she lived for some years in Usa or because as i discovered later her heart where full of compassion.

In that period my father become sick with cancer, and the doctors in Italy said that he had few chances....so just after a month from my change of life, from getting my dream....i were at a crossroad. Go back to stay near my family or go on following my way.....

Life is strange sometimes, but everything  have a meaning at the end.

She told me about her experience with cancer, how she fought, how she lived that experience, how she prayed god asking some more years that her younger daughter was still too young to remain without mother....

Her smile, her courage, her positiveness, her power......changed my approach to life.......

I met her last year, in Tokyo, (good may be remembered the promise done) cancer come out again.....and that time the doctor gave the sentence: no chances, go on with chamiotherapahy until the day.....but even if without hair, even if with lots of physical pain.....she still had the contagious smile. It was the chance for me to introduce her my family, and hugh for last time the person who become 'MY JAPANESE MOTHER'

Yesterday you have passed away, stopping to suffer.

I will always keep with me all your teachings and your positiveness!!!!

Rest in Peace
