We are off to Tokushima, but your father is sick. It can’t be pig flu because he was feeling bad in the morning, before he even left Fukui, where pig flu has yet to reach. The train ride took 5 hours, but you were such a great baby, and cried only briefly on the shinkansen to Okayama. We went to kazura bashi, but your mother decided to stay behind and not walk with you across the bridge (though truthfully I think she was scared). Actually it was a very scary bridge and even your father got scared! After that we went for a walk around your aunt’s house and saw the hospital she recently got transferred to and was currently working at that night. She was so happy to see you and I know it was hard for her to work that evening knowing you were at her apartment.
