niigata, my hometown

I came back to Tokyo yesterday.

When I arrived at my home in the suburbs of Niigata City,
my neighbors welcomed me saying, "You are so lucky, karin-san.
It had been raining very hard just before you got home."

I went to my native place Tochio, which was absorbed into Nagaoka City in January, and visited my parents' grave.

I went to Yoshida, which was absorbed into Tsubame City in March, and visited my husband's grave. I put their favorite flowers and food on their graves.

I told them not to worry about me. I told them that I was all
right, because I did survive everything with the greatest
difficulty. I asked them to wait for my returning to them.

I had very busy days in Niigata, meeting my neighbors and some
of my good old friends. Eight nights and nine days stay in Niigata was too short for me to do all I had wanted to do.

I had a most agreeable time in Niigata.
