      These three are part of my on-going daruma (dharma)doll series that began with this post, which itself was part of my earthquake/tsunami series: http://etegamibydosankodebbie.blogspot.jp/2011/03/humanizing-quake-gunma.html

      Ah, thank you for the link to the background. What a thoughtful post. And I had never come across daruma before, but love the idea of fall seven times, rise again eight.

      Thank you, Tiberius, for visiting, and I hope to "see" you again. I already have two options on the right-hand sidebar for you to subscribe to this blog. The "Follow" button and the "subscribe" button. But I'll see what else I can add.

      Thank you very much Mrs. Dosanko!
      It's the "subscribe by email" thing that is most handy (sorry if it was there and I missed it!)

      Best wishes!

    I totally agree, fathers are irreplaceable. What a lovely tribute. I also really love your "secret" post. Beautiful, and the poem really speaks to me.

    Dear Debbie,
    Very nice!! I enjoyed the post so much and realized that you're living in between Japanese and English world. I always wonder how a wife call husband "Father(not "Honey)" in Japaneseʚ(ˆ◡ˆ)ɞ.
    Cheers,wink,wink, Sadami

      Sadamiさん、考え過ぎですよ。（笑）I don't call my husband "father" and I don't call him "honey." I call him by his name. But he is a father to my children. A good father. This is the first year I have made him a Father's Day card.
