実は昨年末にインフルエンザAに罹ってしまい、
自宅療養中です。23日は会社に出勤したのですが、
夜から発熱と悪寒が生じ翌朝には”A"でした。2024年末は
本日27日で"仕事納め"の方も多いのではないでしょうか。

さて、去る12月21日は私にとって忘れなれない出来事
となりました。ひとつは父の一周忌法要を菩提寺にて
無事に終了出来たこと。夜はなんと40年ぶりくらいでしょうか、
高校時代の仲間との忘年会に参加出来たことでした。
昨年も誘われていたのですが、
驚いたことに忘年会の12月29日の当日、
父の臨終に立ち会っていたため、
当然ながら参加不可となった訳です。
21日も変な巡り合わせで偶然ですが、
父の一周忌法要を前倒しで行うことになった訳ですが、
またもや忘年会の当日とぶつかりました！
お寺での供養は午前中でしたので、
今回はついに仲間達と逢うことができました。
普段から筆遣（ふでづかい）を行っていることを
怠っている為に肝心な時に毛筆が立ちません。とはいえ、
誠意の意を込めて小さめの文字で綴りました。

忘年会にはドクターから頂いた
日本酒の"差し入れ"と、
中学時代から高校時代を通しての親友には
蔵書のプレゼントを持参し夜はほんとうに
あっと言う間に時は過ぎ、タクシーに乗って帰宅したのは
次の日の午前3時過ぎでした！
本当に素晴らしい同級生達でした！！

It hangs to influenza A at the end of last year actually, and the recuperation at home.
Generation of heat and chill were caused at night and "A" next morning though it went to company on the 23rd
"Work paying" might be also more abundant on the 27th today at the end of 2024.
Well, last December 21 forgot for me and became an event that was not able to become it.
One anniversary of father memorial service should have been
able to be ended safely about one in the family temple.
The night is to be able to participate in the year end party
with the companion at high school days very much for about 40 years.
It is a reason that became impossible to participate naturally because father was attending
it in the hour of death on that day of the year end party, December 29 surprisingly it though had been invited last year.

It was the re-faced with that day of the year
end party though one anniversary of father memorial service ..the 21st..
was moved up to have ..the chance meeting..
strange though a coincidence and the translation that was going to be done.

It was able finally to meet companions this time because the memorial service in the temple was a morning.

The brush doesn't stand when it is essential because it is neglected to do the brushwork usually.
However, the mind of sincerity was put and it spelt it by a small character.
To the year end party really by bringing the present of the One's (private) Library to the best friend through high school days in the junior high school age ,
saying that "Insertion" of the sake gotten from the doctor at night
It was at 3:00AM in less than no time of the next day to pass, to take the taxi, and to come home at time.
They were really wonderful classmates.
