My father was taken to a hospital by
ambulance last Christmas. Luckily it was not life threatening, but his both
hands are paralyzed. He still needs rehab to move his hands.
In order to spend
the New Year with us at home, he left the hospital. Back to home, he had a cup of Sencha
made by Mom. He looked relieved and said, “It is good. Really tasty......”
He cannot even hold a teacup by himself
and has to drink it using a straw. Even so, the tea soothed him.
I knew tea
makes us happy and soothing. But once again his word and face reminds me of the power of tea.
