数日が経ってしまいましたが、日本に飛んで来ました。上の写真は窓際に座っていたｱﾏﾘ撮影。今回初めて、成田からリムジンバスで都内まで帰りました。着陸２０分前に熟睡してしまった１４ｋｇ男子をおんぶしながら、荷物が山積みのカートを片手に娘の手を引き、あまりの必死さに気がついたら都内に立っていました。迎えに来てくれた母を見たとたん、なつかしいビルの景色に感動。
I'm home! It's been two years. This year, just the kids and I flew here, and Ryan is staying home. I feel so bad separating them for a while; although we talk on Skype everyday. I was having a hard time with what other people would say about leaving my husband for a long time, but he thinks the kids need to be here to not only learn the language and culture but experience everything. Japan is part of us. Our kids are half American and half Japanese. Both of us want the kids to be exposed to everything that we can provide. When I heard what he thinks, I realize I chose the right person to be with. Wow, serious talk...I must be seriously exhausted. Actually, I haven't slept or sat down for I don't even know how long... Things should hopefully settle down soon.
最後の体力を振り絞って子供達をお風呂に入れて出てきたら、これ。普段の母ごはんです。この普通さが嬉しい。ご馳走じゃなくて、根菜類、魚介類、キノコ類、夏のお野菜、たくさん食べて帰るぞー。それにしても、母の普段使いのお皿がきれいです。真似したくても、子供達が大きくなってからと思う貧乏性の私。我が家のいいお皿は、箱の中で眠っています。
After I gave a bath to the kids with my last bit of energy left-over from a day of flying with them, my mom's dinner was waiting for me. It's nothing special, but she uses these beautiful plates for everyday dinner. It's something I would like to do, but I think about the cost if the kids break them...or the extra time for hand washing them. Our china is still in boxes since our wedding day.
