They both smiled.
"Alright, I'll just say goodbye to your Dado then we'll go home, okay?"

And today's her baby's 2nd birthday also.

She felt Jiro's hug.
"You're using his eyes crying, he's sad seeing you cry I know."
She bitterly smiled. "And it's been three years since he lended me his beautiful pair of eyes to see..."
