Please excuse my grammar mistakes. I'll write it again in my own language for my scrapbook.

April 1986 My brother was a newborn, less than 40 days old. He got an ear infection, probably from me; I wasn't ill, but I was a first grader that year, and maybe some kid at school was ill too. He had to be admitted to the children's hospital. I don't remember much from those days, other than I was feeling guilty. Of course my mom had to stay there with him, and my dad had to go to work. So my grandparents came to pick me up and have me stay with my aunt and cousins. On our way there, it was already dark and it was raining heavily. There were too many thunders and lightnings. I remember the lightings being majestic, but now I can tell that my grandma was really scared. Every time she saw a lighting, she kept asking me, with a soft voice that was hiding her terror: “Do you see what I see?”. That phrase was here to stay! Even now, it's one of the things we say as a family. And every time it's raining heavily & there are thunders, I remember that evening, with my grandpa driving in silence and my grandma trying to make me feel me comfortable.
