Taiwanese actress Ruby Ho recently traveled to Japan with her younger sister after months of anxiety over her mother’s hospitalization, which began in April.
The sisters had postponed their annual Tokyo trip until a friend urged Ho to go and promised to visit her mother every day while she was away. During the weeklong journey, the siblings spent their days together and found themselves returning to the carefree feeling of childhood.
At night, they talked about their early years. Ho said they had forgotten many of the details, but by sharing the moments each remembered, they gradually rebuilt a fuller picture of their past. Despite heavy rain and a sizable earthquake during the trip, she said they remained excited.
The experience gave Ho emotional relief. “Travel really is a shortcut to healing the heart,” she said, adding, “If the years cannot always remain peaceful, then lock all the beautiful moments in your heart.”
