I got a mail from Sis Kimi.
She is coming.
Since last night she flip flopped
She is coming, No, she is not coming.
Sis Kimi came.
Yuka came
Sis Kyoko came.
Along with two nurses and Ms. Grasshopper
My apartment is full house.
Naoko ma came late afternoon.
Sis thanked Naoko and Naoko thanked Sis
And I thought about the connection the fate made.
It's been long time since the family got together.
It seems so long ago.
It's been several years since I saw Sis Kyoko.
The time between melted away immediately.
We are sisters.
We look alike and think alike.
I had a belly laugh with my weakened abs.
I ate bean cakes
Made with home grown beans,
They reminded me of my mother
On this spring equinox.
Thank you for bringing them.
I hope the Shinkansen super express lines will recovers soon.
It's a line that leads to my home town.
Beautiful Fukushima
Where your future lies?
Ms. Grasshopper came late at night,
Delivering important things.
Green card and the receipt for new passport
I'll leave for New York on April 6.
Sisters and Yuka.
Good night from the living room.
