    <body><![CDATA[<em>Translated from the Japanese by Terry Gallagher</em><br/><br/>This story is incredibly sweet. Cavity-inducing sweet. It's a lovely little thing about a widowed man whose sick wife promised to come back to check on him and their son, Yuji, a year after she has died during the rainy season.
