The subtitle of this campaign is “Flowers to Her/Him.” When you write to your family member, you can write the person’s name such as “Dear Mom, Ms./Mrs. (     )." This is to regard the person as an individual rather than just a parent, husband, or wife at home, and to remind yourself of how important the person is, which you may have taken for granted. By expressing your innermost feelings and words that you want to say to your family, you can reduce misunderstandings and conflicts and let your family's love bloom through online letters.<br>
