For you have left us a legacy —
A precious legacy of Hope
That our Faith will endure for years to come.

What I Love
By SUE SHINAGAWA
It was fresh:
Shiny full clear eyes, bright red gills,
good natural sheen.
What a bounty nature bestowed bn us
with her never-failing harvest from the sea.
Fish merchant cleaned and removed fins and tail’.
Firm flesh made fillets,
Avhich I sprinlbed with salt and
refrigerated for several hours.
/
They had to take a cold shower and a vinegar bath before the top skin was taken off:
Being sliced into bite sizes and
arranged with thinly cut lettuce,
Shimesaba (Mackerel marinaded in vinegar)
was served at dinner.
Dipped in soy sauce, our little one ate a piece
and said, “Mmmmm, good!
I love ‘saba’ very much, Mommy ”
Her parents smiled at each other.
This happy moment is what I love. ,
