Meet My Grandchild

　　My daughter gave birth to a baby girl on March 5th. The baby was totally healthy without any congenital illness. I didn't mind whether the baby was a boy or girl, and I simply hoped that the baby would be born healthy. The news of the successful delivery really made me relieved. She discharged from the maternity hospital a week after the childbirth. Some might wonder about the week's stay in the hospital, saying "The baby has something abnormal, or not?", but it is the usual way for the delivery in Japan's hospital for both mother and the baby to receive a week's hospital care after the birth. My wife was staying in Tokyo for about three weeks after her discharge to help her to take care of the baby.
　　Above was really good news, but bad news came in at the same time. People who got infected with the corona virus are increasing across Japan. The government asked the nation not to move for nonessential and non-urgent tasks, but I was not able to wait to meet my first grandchild and visited Tokyo with prudential preparation. The baby was so adorable. I've no words to express my delight.
