The child has passed away.
My mistake in judgment is a major cause.
That was compounded by the hospital's malfunctions.
He was a very kind and cute kid.
Like rolling down from my mistake in judgment
The condition is getting worse
And then he passed away.
They loved stories, were cheerful, and gave me a lot of happiness.
It was a treasure for me and my husband.

he passed away, didn't he?
I think it's filled with hopeless sadness, regret, anger, and despair.
Now let's look down on our kids with tears in their eyes.
Thank you for the happy times so far.

Life is over, but it's not an eternal farewell.
When your life is over and you go to the Pure Land, we'll meet again.
Until then, goodbye.
Until then, please live your child's life to the fullest. I think your kids want that too.

There are many ancestors in the Pure Land.
So your child won't be lonely.
Don't worry about it.

Your child is by no means unhappy.
Being born into this world as a human is a miracle among miracles.
That miracle happened, and I was able to spend a happy time until this year.
That's a happy thing.
It's a miracle.
And it was your parents who made that miracle happen. Please don't blame yourself.

Hope to see you again someday in the Pure Land.
I hope you keep an eye on your family until then.

This is really painful. I know how much you are heartbroken.

I would like to offer a memorial service.

I sincerely pray that you will receive peaceful guidance through a good and pure Buddha relationship.

Your child's life is in eternal life “Amida.”

This is Kameyama Junshi.

I'll listen to a part of “Freddy the Leaf” in place of a child who loves stories.

❝ “The time has come for leaves to change homes.” Daniel said. “Some people say it's about dying.”

“Are we all going to die?” Freddy asked.
“Yes.” Daniel answered. “Everything dies.”
“I'm not going to die!” Freddy said.
But his friends fell out one after another. Eventually, the tree almost lost its leaves.
“We're all afraid of not knowing.” Daniel said. “But you weren't afraid whether spring turned into summer or summer into fall, were you? Change is natural.”

“Will we be back in spring?” Freddy asked.
“I don't know, but 'life' will return. That's because “life” lasts forever. And we're part of it,” Daniel answered.
“We just fall and die. Then why were you born here?” Freddy asked again.
Daniel said. “It's for my friends, the sun, and the shade of the trees. You remember those breezes, people, and fall colors, right? Isn't that all it takes?”
That afternoon, Daniel smiled and fell down. Freddy was the only one left on the branch.

The first snow fell the next morning.
The wind blew and took Freddy off the branch. It didn't hurt at all.
While falling, Freddy saw the whole tree for the first time. I was reminded of Daniel's words, “Life lasts forever.”
Freddy fell on soft snow. He closed his eyes and went to sleep.
What he didn't know was that preparations had already been made in the trees and in the ground for new spring leaves. ❞ (http://akitajet.com/wiki/The_Fall_of_Freddie_the_Leaf)

Your child's life changes shape and is by your side. Just like Freddy and Daniel, they are in eternal life. We call that eternal life “Amida.”

I hope that your child, who is by your side, will always smile.
