It is five years since I returned to Kurashiki to join my father in caring for my mother. Even if it does not involve severe work, nursing a person is not easy. I come across many stressful situations and at times when my spirits are low, I start wondering things like "What is a family?" Moreover, when I am really depressed, I begin thinking that family is merely a concept. While there is a form called family, "connection" and "bond" that are associated with the word "family" has become an illusion today. After reaching such a worthless conclusion, I sink further down into my misery. Trio Diner featured in this issue. Its name caught my attention at first. Learning that it meant three brothers, I became more interested. As I continued my interview, I understood that "Trio" was family. What I thought was an illusion existed naturally, right in front of me. The degree of my misery might lessen a little from now on.
