   ...continued from the last post...
I was about eight years old when we were living at Tottori. We didn't have enough money for luxuries. All of a sudden we found ourselves in a financial crisis. My father, after having a successful career at Osaka, now faced a set of difficulties as he tried to establish himself in a decent job. My mother was desperate to help, but my father wouldn't allow her. It was his "responsibility" as the man of the house to support the family, not the woman's responsibilty. For if the woman was found working in a better job supporting the family while the man was unsuccessful in doing so, he had no honor. He wasn't going to step down for that. My father saw it that way, but not my mother. There were nights when we would have no food on our table. We lived in a small apartment with almost no furniture. I was too small to understand what had been going on. At night I would always wonder why my dad had gotten fired. The answer to that was to come soon...

I remember my mother crying when I would get home from my new school. She never told me why she cried. But as an eight year old, you never pay attention to those things. I would find her admiring a kitchen knife sometimes. I just worried that she would do a crazy thing with it. But overtime her apparent sadness went away, and I thought that all was fine. But our money situation wasn't getting any better. And neither was I.
After a year living in Tottori, something happened to me that was just going to strain my parents even more than what they already were.
One day I had to be sent home from school because of a high fever. I then began having night sweats. When I started losing weight for no reason, my parents became worried. I was taken to the doctor after two weeks with a fever. They made some analysis and the told us to go home; they were going to call us again once they had the results. One morning as I got up from bed to go to the bathroom, weakily, everything around me turned dark, and I became lightheaded. I had fainted. I couldn't believe where I found myself when I woke up...
