Yoirko, I had no idea that you owned a private school. That is amazing, but do understand with the economy crisis why you might have to shut it down. With you now living in Aus., this might be the way to close the door on the old life and open up - something in the new. Enjoy your family while you can. Travel safe and keep in touch. We will miss you while you are gone, but will keep you in our prayers. *4U Shirlene

Yoriko,
I am sorry to hear that you have to close your school. Economy seems to be bad everywhere. Shirlene is right, this may be God's way of opening new doors for you.
Have a safe trip and enjoy the time with your sons and granddaughters.

Oh, Yoriko, how sad for you!! This economy is just so bad for so many people! I hope you can get it done with a minimum of upset to yourself. It must be hard to see something you have developed over the years ba closed like that. I hope you will have a good time with your family, anyway. Spend some time with Yukio, I know how much you miss him! And perhaps, when it's all over, and the debts settled, at least that chapter will be closed, and you won't have to worry about it any more, you can move on to other things that may be more rewarding for you. Please travel safely, and check in with us when you can. My love, Marji

You will be greatly missed... I am sorry for the closing of the school...we all know how important education is!!! BUT you will be with your OTHER Family...just don't forget us!!!
We will be waiting for your return..Be Safe...Have Fun..Hug the Girls LOTS!! Love, Hugs and *'s

Dear Yoriko,
It is so sad to have to close a school, and I am sorry for the debts that you have incurred. How nice to have sons and granddaughters to visit, with whom to share your love. The economy has hit most of us very hard, and we can only hope and pray that things will improve. You have been a breath of fresh air to this Cute family, offering your time and talents so generously.
You and your family are in my prayers,
Jacqueline

Yoriko, Always remember " When God closes a door, he opens a window". What he must have in store for you has be greater than you can dream. I know that a family visit will be your hearts desire. Hug the girls for me and let them know that someone across the oceans thinks of them and that they are in my prayers. I know that closing the school is a heartbreaker, but remember that you are God's gift and he will take care of it. Prayers and God's Blessings, Libbie

Oh Yoriko !!! i'm so sorry for you :o( LOVE AND HUGS TO YOU

I am so sad for you to have to do this, but at least you will have your family there to support you and your family here (Cute) praying for all to go well for you and wishing you a safe return to Australia, if that is what you want.
When God close one door, he opens another" I hope this will be so for you dear Yoriko, for you deserve to be happy.
Hugs n much love, Meganne

God always has his ways of rewarding warm and generous souls, just be patient, I am sure he has bigger and better plans for you.
Enjoy your time with your family. Have a safe trip, we all will keep you in our prayers.

Oh Yoriko...I am so sorry to hear that you have to close your school...is there any kind of assistance that you could apply for? Such as a grant or Government money available...or maybe private financing through an organization? I don't know what type of rules or regulations you are under or what might be available thru your community. I wish you the best and I know God will give you the answer.
Hugs, Linda

Yoriko, I feel so sorry for you, this is reasad news, enjoy your trip and the visit to family to. I will pray for you Love Marie.

My heart goes with you. Lots of sadness these days and you have brighten my days ...thank you and please hurry back.

Dearest Yoriko, It is so sad to have to close a school, and I am sorry for the debts that you have incurred. But it is no good to carry on, if it is only giving you debt. God bless you, and enjoy the stay with your sons and granddaughters. Hugs and Love Yvonne

Yoriko, I'm sorry to here about your situation. One thought though, have your family read these letters from your CUTE Family, so they know how much you are loved and appreciated. People don't need to see each other, live near each other, or personally know each other, to feel like they have friends ALL OVER THE WORLD. Hurry back.

Yoriko, I too am so sorry to hear about your situation and will pray that everything will turn out well for you!! I also wish you a safe trip and that you will have a special time with your sons & grandaughters!

I know things always happen for a reason because BETTER things are waiting for you - it may not seem like that at the time though but please try and stay positive! I believe in the Power of Prayer! You will be in mine and in my thoughts!
Take care!
Hugs

Yoriko, we always say when one door closes, another opens. I just know that this is going to be a new adventure for you, because you deserve the best. It is wonderful that you will be able to see and spend time with your sons and granddaughters! Be safe......I'll be praying for you.;)

Querida Yoriko, estamos todos a atravessar tempos difíceis, uns mais do que os outros, mas nestes momentos é que o amor da família e o apoio dos amigos nos dão força para encerrar alguns capítulos da nossa vida e enfrentar os novos tempos com renovado ânimo. É por isso que te envio um abraço muito apertado, com os meus votos de que tudo corra pelo melhor. Tu mereces ser feliz....tens dado tanto aos outros!... Sinto-me honrada por te ter conhecido e espero poder em breve ler novamente as tuas mensagens e sentir nelas que, apesar de tudo, o teu sorriso continua aí, no teu rosto.

Yoriko, please take good care of you, and return safe. Enjoy your family, they will give you strength for sure.
A new chapter in your life will begin. Life is full of changes and we usually deal with what we are given at any one particular time as it happens. Nothing is for ever. Each day is a new day, so embrace each day as it comes.
All my love and many hugs and kisses, Kerry here in Oz.

Hello dear friend Yoriko,

I will be thinking of you as you venture to Japan. As all the other cuties have said there is always a reason for everything - Just believe - in yourself and in those around you. I wish the Japanese Government could assist you with your financial problems or even some individual financiers. If that is not to be then - this will be a new beginning in your life. How exciting that will be.

I am thrilled that you will see your sons. I know you have missed them. Keep your spirits up and know that all of use here on Cute will be upholding you in our prayers for a safe arrival and a good outcome.

Thank you for all of your generosity on here.

Love and blessings always Yoriko, love Chris

May you have a safe journey and may God give you the strength you need to complete your tasks. Hugs

Yoriko, I know this is a trying time for you. It's a shame financial help isn't available for you. On the up side you will have a wonderful visit with your sons and granddaughters. I will miss you and look forward to your occasional posts here. Just remember... When God closes a door he opens a window. Look for that open window, it will lighten your heart.
