Sorry for your lost

[@hjacques]

Be safe with the storm coming your way this weekend. Praying for you and your family!

[@pelarinbacosiii448]

My condolences for the loss of your mother. I trust that the support of your friends, family and your faith--if you have one--will be a source of comfort to you. Here in Hawaii, Obon festivals are common in the summer months. I still fondly recall attending these festivals with friends, even though I am neither Japanese nor Buddhist. The celebration of community and culture in the midst of remembrances of the departed is a wonderful way of marking these passages.

[@stevenclowes7770]

Deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother Bjorn. I’m sure she is at peace in knowing you are living out your dream. And Such a lovely ceremony to have each August In her memory. Much love.

[@BonsaiStyle]

Hey Bjorn I'm sorry for your loss. May the positive experiences prevail and give you strength. The video was once again an enrichment for us viewers. You also know how to make the simple things big. Thank you very much

[@oscarguzman543]

So sorry for your loss Bjorn! Im sure she was very proud of you and you have that in your heart always.

[@P.W.Brandenburger]

Very cool getter done 😮

[@johnpienta4200]

Beautiful work, as usual. Sorry for your loss. Mary you and your family be happy, and at ease. Thank you for sharing.

[@JosephSAi2HT]

Im sorry for your loss and the difficulties inherent are fully understood in that my Mother too passed away, May 2021. Be potentially forwarned/look forward to their continued existence in your life. As my mom is felt by me in mine. With wholly new talents i never knew i had until she has shined this light brightly for me. May they be enlightened in heaven to follow our art of love in the way they have taught, along with such serendipitous irony that brings them to meet each other and feel fulfilled in the goodness of God that we continue here until our mtg once again in His heavens.

[@arnaudinputselector]

sorry for your loss bjorn, hope this new life chapter will bring you some joy.

[@lukasmihara]

I'm very sorry for your loss, and I'm wishing youand your family all the best. About the garden, the plan sounds wonderful! Hopefully I can come visit someday. By the way, I wonder if Hieizan could be included in some sort of borrowed landscape as well?

[@jacemonty]

So sorry Bjorn, your mom rest in power blessings you.

[@kristopherwolf3811]

Beautiful Bjorn. Hugs from Florida.

[@MokumaBonsai]

These videos make me want to learn japanese and move to Japan. Thanks again for taking us along your journey and sorry for your loss.

[@tuclance]

I was in Japan for the first time this year and spent most of my time in and around Kyoto best place ive ever been. It is amazing! ❤

[@MokumaBonsai]

@@tuclance I'll visit Kyoto next year. It will be my first time in Japan. Already looking forward, it's a lifelong dream of mine.

[@mohammadyassin5398]

I’m excited to see how the home and garden will finally come together. So sorry for your loss Bjorn, wishing you and your family the best

[@alfredgrechbonsailicious4827]

May she rest in Peace. Sincere condolences to you and family.

[@tomezmaples]

My passion is Japanese Maples and photography, I like looking at Bonsai (art) but don't really have an interest in the subject. I alway enjoy watching your uploads and have only just asked myself why. And the answer is you are an incredibly talented film maker, your films are of such quality It is hidden in plain sight if that makes sense. All aspects are professional level. The structure, story telling, editing even a sense and feel of the location.

[@claudioestrada1671]

I hope to travel to Japan some day and visit your garden when its ready :) Sorry for your loss. I wonder if your mother was of finnish ancestry.

[@creightonfreeman8059]

It has been a difficult summer. My mother fell and broke her hip in May and after making a seeming recovery from the surgery passed away suddenly in June. May we both find peace. This afternoon I was detail wiring a Japanese White Pine my college English professor's Japanese gardener gave me about 35 years ago and my mind was the most calm it has felt since she left. Best wishes Bjorn.

[@kexu3676]

Hi Bjorn, I’m so sorry for your loss. Your mom was such a kind and wonderful person even though I only met her once. Wishing you and your family the best.

[@EverydayRonin]

I'm so sorry for your loss, Bjorn.

My sincere condolences for the loss of your mother

[@luismiguelseijomaceiras6767]

Dear Bjorn, In Lincoln’s own words, “I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost.” I hope you can find some peace of mind at the end of what I can only imagine has been a very difficult year. Thanks again for sharing your journey with us. May your mother rest in peace.

[@MikeOxmellsGrimm8]

Condolences for your painful loss. That is too young.

[@briancrawford2485]

Wish you could fast forward in time. Can't wait to see nursery

[@chadschoen5055]

Sorry for your loss, Bjorn. She must have been a great mother to have raised someone such as yourself.

[@briancrawford2485]

My condolences for your loss

[@RedSinter]

I have no doubt it will be beautiful, but I would have thought you might but property out at the outskirts and have a more naturalistic surrounding than looking over fences and seeing a city scape. Or I'd personally plant trees that would block the surrounding homes. My deepest condolences for the loss of your mother. The ceremony its fitting and makes my soul ache...

[@smokereapergaming3861]

Hey Bjorn I'm so sorry for your lost my brother

[@DaveBones-mi3iz]

Condolences to you and your whole family.

[@Snowfallbonsai]

So sorry, Bjorn. You honor her every day by being the kind soul she taught you to be.

sorry for your loss

[@kl5818]

👏👏👏

[@Benw3790]

Hey Bjorn, I know that you hardly ever respond to comments but I first just want to say that I am so, so sorry for your loss. Secondly, you say that your garden will be considered quite big when it comes to Japanese bonsai nurseries. Will the trees just be a lot closer together? The nursery in Tenn. seemed pretty big and the new property looks kinda of small, once you add a home. Once again, so sorry for your loss.
