I came back from Shimokita。

Happy new year。Thank you for your continued support this year。I received many New Year's cards.。thank you。But、I haven't been able to send a single letter this year.。I'm sorry。

Shortly after the start of December, my computer broke and I sent it in for repair.、I was able to get it repaired within the year.、I had already returned to Shimokita on the 24th to check on my father.、I have stopped sending New Year's cards this year.。I went to my father's hospital every day for 11 days from the 25th to January 4th to take care of him? to help、I drove over a mountain road and went to the hospital, which took an hour to an hour and a half each way.。

August surgery、I was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital in November and this is my third hospital.、One by one, I am unable to do it each time.。I was able to talk properly immediately after the surgery.、I was able to accurately answer my name and date of birth.、At the next hospital, I was unable to speak.、I can no longer recognize my family。At the hospital this time, I can't even eat anymore, even though they give me food.、I'm just getting thinner。My body is stiff and stiff。Is it a rehabilitation hospital? ? ? I thought so、If you don't eat it anyway, that's it、I decided to focus my work on making sure they had enough to eat, even if it was only for lunch.。There is little the family can do。But during those 11 days, I felt that there were things I could only do as a family.。

The snowy roads I was not used to were scary at first.、As you get used to it, you will have more time to look around you.、You can now enjoy driving through the ice-covered mountain roads that sparkle with light.。Above all、The beauty of pure snow、Powder snow dances in the wind、I was able to see the beauty of the snow every day, where it was hard to tell whether it was a road or a snowy field.、It cheered me up a lot.。The freshness of the cold and clear air。I felt like I was returning home to retrieve something I had forgotten.。

I didn't see a single person coughing in Shimokita.、I completely forgot about the cold、Yesterday (5th) evening、A large number of people started coughing as soon as they arrived at Omiya Station on the Shinkansen.。ah、There's a cold here。With that feeling、While cherishing the beautiful snowy scenery in my heart、I went home feeling like I was going to live in this again from today.。
