Laura planned a beautiful wedding with four bridesmaids. Her gown had a long train and a longer veil. We were wondering about accessories. Suddenly the thought came to me, Mom would be so happy if Mark's bride were wearing that beautiful string of pearls. I passed the pearls on to Laura as part of our wedding gift to them.
Pearls have an indefinable beauty and value.
But more valuable are treasures of the heart. A voice said write about 'Home', I thought - or Furusato. Kokyo a picture and a song of long ago Japan stirred me. I associated it with my Dear Ymasaki. I thought Furusato.
