Ayako went to Sapporo.

  In the morning, I stood at the crossing to guard school kids because it was Tuesday. I didn't feel so cold, and felt spring coming.
  Ayako went to Sapporo by bus to see her sister and brother-in-law. Mr.Shimizu,our brother-in-law is now in hospital, and we are afraid he is weakening. His wife, Emiko, who is in the care house, is in demented state and cannot communicate almost at all. She cannot recognize us when we go to see her. Both of them are over 80 years old now.
