On the other day, I was watching TV about a woman who lost her husband by Tsunami. Her husband was a bus driver and she found the ring from his remain staff. Holding her two small daughters in her arms, she said, "This must be the return to my Valentine's day present. I do not need the ring but just want him back. He is such a sweet kind man..." It was such a painful story and I could not stop wiping. March 14 is called White day in Japan and men return the present to women's Valentine's day present. Last year, my husband bought me engaged ring on White Day. On this collapse after the tragedy in Tohoku, we had been lived apart and we did not even spend White day together. I just thought about my ring and how happy memory of that.
3月14日はホワイトデーだった。が、震災の後のバタバタで、すっかり忘れて過ごしてしまった人も多いだろう。私達夫婦も、一緒に過ごす事すらできなかった。テレビで先日、震災でご主人を亡くされた方が、遺品から指輪のプレゼントを見つけて、とても大事そうにしていた姿を見て、涙が止まらなくなった。その直前までは、幸せなささやかな家族の日常があったのだな、と思うと、なおさら、痛みを感じた。私にとっても、3月14日は、指輪の思い出のある日だ。(相方は日付までは覚えていないだろうけど)
He apologised that he could not do well, but I was so happy since it was such a big challenge to him. 相方は、「うまくできなかった、、、」と謝ってたけど、頑張ってくれたのが伝わって、とても、うれしかった。 |
