Twenty years, piled higher than illness,
now slowly melting away
It is already year-end. Time passes so quickly. Looking back, I first went to the cancer center when I was 20, on March 24, so before I knew it, nearly 20 years will have passed since I was struck down by illness.
By the way, Tokyo Millenario is apparently going on hiatus this year. It, too, had already continued for 7 years. It is deeply moving. I wonder whether many people will go to see its final flourish?
