When I was clearing up the mess, a picture came falling from the bookshelf. It was a picture of a young lady. How young! Yes, the picture was taken 31 years ago, on March 1, 1974. Time really flew and she got older.

Miniskirts, short skirts, were very fashionable in the 1970s. Her hairstyle was also in fashion in those days. How old, do you think, she was then? She was 31 years old.

Her only daughter was going to be 6 years old. Doesn't she look unhappy? She had already been told that her husband's very last day would come in these few months.

But she kept smiling and worked as hard as possible. March 17, 1974 was Sunday. She and her daughter spent the whole day in his ward. They talked a lot. They laughed a lot. Their daughter had a nap in his bed. They ate strawberries.

It was around 6 o'clock in the evening that they said good-bye to him. He said to his wife and daughter, "See you, tomorrow. Have a good sleep." It was already very dark and she drove home weeping silently.

Early the next morning her husband lost his senses. He, karin's husband, died on March 19, 1974.
