-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Never ever forget the vow you made in your youth!
Those who have a foundation,
a starting point to which they can return to,
will never be defeated.
Let's all make a fresh new start from now!

"And could not this illness of your husband's be the Buddha's design, because the Vimalakirti and Nirvana sutras both teach that sick people will surely attain Buddhahood? Illness gives rise to the resolve to attain the way."
(The Good Medicine for All Ills - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 937)
