You chose to stay with your father because you didn't want to be separated from your friends.

You worked hard at your studies while also enjoying the soccer you loved with all your heart. Every day after school, you would ride your bicycle with a soccer ball and a dodgeball on your back, excited to play with your friends.

Before you left, you would always cheerfully say, "I'm off!" You always told me who you were going to meet, where you were going, and when you would be home. Your water bottle was always prepared, and you were always home on time. No one had to remind you to study—you always kept your promises and took responsibility for yourself.

There is no child quite like you. You always took your responsibilities seriously and approached your studies with sincerity and determination.

I treasured you with all my heart, and you understood me better than anyone else.

I will never forget you.

After graduating from elementary school, I spent much of my free time reading.

In junior high school and high school, I was known as one of the students who read the most books in my class.

I was an energetic and curious child. Sometimes I was bold and adventurous, but I was always eager to explore new things and broaden my horizons.

I was a member of the tennis club, and when I was in elementary school, I also practiced judo.
