Jaundice

With pickled-egg skin and the voice of a muppet, he tells me about his life before. "We took a boat of Holsteins to Japan," he says with a lilt.

It turns out that I've met, at the other hospital, one of the chaplains that he knew for a long time. His faith is very important to him.

When I shake his hand to take my leave, he says in that sing-song voice, "Bless you, little one."

Thank you for reading! I'm planning to keep it going at least through the end of this month, though there may not be a post every day.
