Love Born in Tokyo
I met him at an international exchange event in Tokyo. As a volunteer staff, he was animating the event with his fluent English. His warm smile and the commemorative photo with the Tokyo Tower as a backdrop are our first memories.
We fell in love quickly and decided to get married. Under the cherry blossoms of Tokyo, he proposed to me. His words warmed my heart like the breath of spring.
Our married life was peaceful, even in the bustling metropolis of Tokyo. On weekends, we would hold hands and walk through the Shibuya scramble intersection, or draw omikuji(fortune slip) together at SensΕ-ji Temple. He taught me about Japanese culture, and I cooked French cuisine for him.
His Battle with Cancer
However, our happy days did not last long. He fell ill with cancer. The sudden loss of my beloved husband plunged me into deep sorrow. The glittering night view of Tokyo and the bustling sounds of the city could not fill my heart.
“We still had so much time to have a child…”
Such thoughts tightened my heart. Having a child with my husband was an invaluable dream for both of us. But that dream was never realized, and I was on the verge of despair.
Yet, I Couldn’t Give Up
Nevertheless, I couldn’t give up. I wanted to feel him a little bit more, here in Japan where I had spent my life with him. That heartfelt desire drove me forward. And so, I chose the path of sperm donation in Japan.
Samurai Donor
At first, I was too embarrassed to tell anyone, not even my family or friends. But when I learned about Samurai Donor and the counselor warmly welcomed me and explained everything in detail, I felt relieved.
Looking at the donor profiles on the Samurai Donor website, I remembered my husband’s kindness and warmth. And I hoped that this child would also grow up to be a wonderful person like my husband.
New Life Begins
On the day of the pregnancy test, I was filled with excitement and anxiety. When I learned that I was pregnant, I felt an indescribable joy. I couldn’t eat my favorite ramen due to morning sickness, and I was confused by the changes in my body, but I cherished every day, feeling the new life growing inside me.
On the day of the birth, I met my child while feeling the loneliness of my husband’s absence. In his small body, as he stared at me intently, I felt as if his kindness was dwelling in his eyes. I was filled with hope for a new life with this child.
I live in a small room in Tokyo with my son. On weekends, we hold hands and cross the Shibuya scramble intersection, or visit SensΕ-ji Temple. He gives me so many smiles and joy of living.
Thanks to sperm donation from Samurai Donor, I have built a new family. This child is my most precious gift. A Japanese child, just like his father. I want to walk a new path in this city of Tokyo with my child.
