IN HOKKAIDO

January 10th, Kozue left the United States for Japan and arrived January 11th late in the night. She stayed in her friend's house that night near Tokyo. And the next day, she had an interview with the American embassy to apply for her visa. After the interview, she directly went to Haneda airport to fly to Sapporo. She arrived at Chitose airport around 8 pm, and then met her aunt at Shin Sapporo station. The aunt told her that her mother was in a critical condition, then they went directly to the hospital from the train station. When she saw her mother, the mother couldn't talk anymore but she recognized her daughter. In the next morning, 1:55am, Kozue's mother passed away.We thank everyone for praying for her mother.
１月１０日にアメリカを出発し、日本へは１月１１日夜遅くに成田着。そのまま埼玉の友人宅で一泊し、翌日はアメリカ大使館でビザ申請のための面接、その足で羽田空港へ向かい、夜６時半の飛行機で千歳空港着。夜９時過ぎに新札幌へ到着。そこで、叔母が私を待っていてくれたが、母の容態が７時頃から急変したとの事。そのまま駅から病院へ向かう。病室へ入ると、母は呼吸器をつけ、話もできず、それでも私が来た事は認識してくれた。その夜明けて、１３日午前１時５５分に他界しました。お祈り頂いた皆さんありがとうございました。
