My father, who cared for my mother with dementia, was a loving "good man"! The director of the documentary film "I'll Be Getting Senile, Please Take Care of Me" which moved Japan, weaves a story of a family filled with laughter and tears. ===== The documentary film "I'll Be Getting Senile, Please Take Care of Me," which captured the life of a mother with dementia and her elderly father who devotedly cared for her, became an unusual hit. And two and a half years after the release of the sequel "I'll Be Getting Senile, Please Take Care of Me ~Welcome Back, Mom~," which depicted the farewell to Mom, Fumiko. This year, in November, Father Yoshinori, who will be 104 years old, has been living alone in Kure, Hiroshima. This book is an essay written by the author, who lives in Tokyo but occasionally spends time in Kure to check on Yoshinori, depicting Yoshinori from the daughter's perspective with a humorous and frank touch. While laughing and crying at the story of one family, this book makes you think about aging, living, dying, and sharing life with a loved one. [Author's Comment (from the "Introduction")] "I'll Be Getting Senile, Please Take Care of Me." This film, with its somewhat cheeky title, became a love story of a mother who never lost her humor even when senile, and a father who cared for her while humming, bound by a deep bond. The way my father supported my mother wholeheartedly touched people's hearts, and even young women said, "I want to marry someone like your father," and my father experienced his first "popularity period" in his life. At first, I thought it was some kind of joke. What's so good about my plain and serious father? But, in a way, I learned from his fans, and I gradually came to realize my father's charm. And, from time to time, the depth and weight of the words my father muttered in the Kure dialect gradually began to touch my heart. In this book, I introduce such precious words, divided into three chapters. Chapter 1 is "Words of Two-Person Living" of my father who lived with his mother with dementia. Chapter 2 is "Words of Single Living" of my father who continues to live with all his might even after his mother passed away. And in Chapter 3, a "senior in life" appears as a guest. They give wonderful words that encourage my father and us. I have also included many of my father's adorable photos. My smartphone is now full of photos of my father, and from them, I have selected the best photos with the intention of "making the oldest idol photo book in Japan."
