The morning it was snowing and raining alternately.
I heard the rain
And sighed in the bed.
I had to give up going to work.
Naoko Ma and Maho came
With curry rice.
It brought back some memories.
When I was well, I used to go out to buy one.
Ms. Grasshopper joined.
The lunch is better with company.
Snowing afternoon, alone with Ms. Grasshopper
Digging out old video tapes
Eureka!
Wedding
Christmas
In reminiscent of
what we did and what we were.
Looking out
I saw people holding umbrellas
Rain, rain, please stop raining.
Ms. Ono came to accompany me to a restaurant,
"Roji", it's still drizzling.
Even gentle rain makes you wet.
I am sorry, I am sorry that it requires two hands to push a wheelchair.
Taku, Fumiko, Ayano
Old colleagues of the New York office
Always make me happy.
Fumiko, Ayano
Yes, I'll call you when I need somebody to scratch my back.
Because of my illness, there are many things I can't do by myself.
Thank you very much.
I am grateful.
They came to my home.
I can't even serve tea for you.
After midnight,
The time between the morning and the night
I turned on the PC.
In the inbox I found the name of
My ex-husband, Bobby.
20 years of separation melted away.
His writing
He is just like he was in those days.
"That being said, I spent so much time thinking about you since I read your email this morning. I was crying on the airplane from Rochester, but I remember so many happy times we had together."
Your words are enough.
I am happy to read your words.
Thank you, I really am grateful.
The words I found between the night and the morning
