Archery "All Hokkaido", Kazuma's team, won the 3rd prize in the national athletic meet.

  In the national athletic meet held in Yamaguchi prefecture, Kazuma's all Hokkaido team won the 3rd place in the group match. They beat Team Osaka, Team Saitama, but were defeated by Team Tokyo in semi-final. Finally they defeated Team Saga, and won the 3rd prize.
 In the evening, I went to Nidom, a gorgeous resort hotel in the eastern suburbs of the city to attend Michiko Mokudai's wedding. There were some 60 attendances including her high school classmates from Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Fukushima, Sapporo, and Tomakomai, of course. It was a very special wedding. Michiko and the man named Koichi Takahashi had been married for seven years, and they had already had a two-year-old daughter. But they said they hadn't had their wedding ceremony. And, a very sad thing happened. Michiko got cancer in her breast, and the cancer had spread to lung. The doctor said in July this year that she would live only three month, so if she wanted anything while she was living, do as quickly as possible. So she wanted to have this wedding. So sad !  It has already passed three months since the doctor said so. Michiko said she hoped a miracle would happen. I do hope so, too. I pray for her.
