Mikio Date (46), a sandwich man, mourns the death of his best friend from elementary school.

Blog update date 18th. “My friend from elementary school died yesterday. It is the first time in my life that my close friend has died …” she wrote, “He supported me when I came to Tokyo to laugh. He got married . When I moved to Omiya City, Saitama Prefecture, for work reasons, I went to play at home. He gave me a lot of sweets because he had no money. He was happy to call me when I first appeared on television. I came back to Sendai and was too busy … but I met regularly at homes and alumni meetings. “

About a year ago, a friend was ill and was hospitalized, but was relieved that he seemed fine. However, he suddenly changed, saying: “In mid-July, cancer eroded my body with great force, and I was sentenced to a life of three months …”. Even so, he reunited his classmates with his friends who behaved happily and enjoyed the barbecue. And a few days ago, I visited a friend who was discharged from the hospital because he wanted to spend his last time at home, and I said, “I knew him for about 15 minutes. I feel thin and I can only make a calm voice … I was able to speak well. It seemed like he ate the fruit I bought as a sympathy, but four days later, I went to heaven.

“I’m only 46 and too young, but … I’m sure I had a happy life with my lovely wife and two children,” Date said. “After decades, let’s gather the classmates again and have a barbecue in the sky. At that time, let’s talk about various things in a dense way without a mask. Good luck. Thank you! Thank you for being. If you calm down, you won’t be there … I’ll go eat sukiyaki again with your family, Gassho.
