Friends Forever
12月はイベント目白押しで忙しい。2日はわたしのバースディパーティだった。親しい友人たちに囲まれ幸せに過ごしたが実はその日見えないようにしていたが、薬の効かなくなっていた私は人の肩を借りないと歩けないくらい体調の悪さがマキシマムに達していた。 There is a lot of events on Dec. The 2nd of Dec was my birthday and I spent very happy day with my close friends. I tryed to look fine however, in fact my condition was maximum bad and I couldn't walk without someones help at the time because the medication already didn't help anymore. だが二日後に新しい薬に変わったら副作用も起こらずすっかり元気になった。そして重度の貧血を起こしていたらしく次の週に二本輸血したら更にすっごく元気になった。どうりで体がふらふらしていたわけだ。今のとこ脱毛も起こってなく順調に過ごしている。But I totaly got back in good condition 2days later when I started to take new medication. I didn't have any side effect either. I found out that I had not enough blood in my body and had 2 packs of blood trancefer and I got even better condition. no wonder why I was in such a bad condition. I am still keeping my hair as well and in good condition so far.そんな中アメリカのアリゾナに結婚で渡った久留米の親友ふみこが里帰りしてきた。16年来の付き合いで彼女がアリゾナに渡って12年になる。私も二度ほど訪ねていったがまさにアメリカという感じの大自然の溢れるいいところだ。昔私たちはヤンキーで同じような雰囲気だったのに今や彼女はすっかりアメリカンと化し私はイングリッシュと化している。人生とは分からないものだ。My best friend in Kurume called Fumiko who went for marridge to Arizona in USA came back from Arizona temporaly. we have been friend for 16years and it has been a 12years since she moved there. I went there twice and it has a lot of nature and nice place and I realy felt America. We used to be very naughty girls when we were younger but now Fumiko became realy like a American and I became realy like a English. We can not pridect our life.今年の夏に一家で里帰りしてきたふみこが今度は子供の教育機関の情報収集のために来ると聞いて教育熱心だと感心していたし、忙しいだろうからちょうど彼女の誕生日祝いを久留米でしてもう一日を福岡で一緒に入れたらいいなと思っていた。もう一人の友達りつこと三人で誕生日をした。食事をし、私たち三人が出会い一緒に働いてた思い出のスナックモンローにいった。あの頃の色々な思い出がたくさん詰まっている私達にとってかけがえのないところ。マスターが目を細めて言った。”お前たちがいたころがこの店始まって以来のゴールデンタイムだったぞ。有難うよくがんばってくれたな“と。She came back to Japan with her family this summer and I heard that she is coming back again by her own this time to correct some information for her kids’ education. I thought what a heard working person she is and she might be busy so would be a nice if we could celebrate her birthday at Kurume and spend 1 day in Fukuoka.The other Friend called Ritsuko joined us and we did Fumiko’s birthday do. We had dinner and went to a snack Monro where we met and used to work together. It is so memorial place for us. The Owner said to us “ you know it was the golden age for this place when you guys were working. Thank you so much for working so hard. 後日ふみこが福岡の私の家に来て告げた。実は子供の事は口実で本当は私がいつまで生きられるかわからない事を死ぬほど心配していて、それを察した彼女のハズバンドが身軽に動けるよう自分が子供を見てるから単身で行っておいでといってくれたのだと。そして出来る限りのことを私にしてあげてきなさいと。子供たちも励ましの写真をおくってきた。私は感動のあまり彼女のいないところで思い切り泣いた。そして出来る限り一緒にいることにした。A few days later Fumiko came to my flat in Fukuoka and told me accutually the kids matter was just excuse, she came back for me. She has been so much worry about me since she heard that I am not sure how long I can live. Her husband notice about it and offer her to go to Japan without kids to look after me as much as she can. He also said that he will look after the kids.The kids also sent me some pictures to cheer me up. I was so happy about it and I cried a lot when she wasn't there and desided to spend time with her as much as I can.りつこもまた不治の病と戦っている。彼女は高校生のころ再生不良性貧血が発覚し、20歳までしか生きられないといわれていた。でも頑張って今もなお生きている。お互い癌になって仲良く闘病生活するとは夢にも思っていなかった。二人で負けずに闘病頑張り来年もっと元気になってふみこに会いに一緒にアリゾナに行こうと誓いふみこは二人とも頑張れと励ましてくれた。私達三人は今回昔に戻ってたくさんの時間を過ごし思い出を作った。Friends Forever,,,,,,,Ritsuko is also fighting with blood cancer which was found when she was a high school student. She was told that she could live only till 20yers old but she is still alive.I never ever thought that we both got a cancer and fighting with it.We promised that we never give up to have a hope to be a better condition and going to see Fumiko in Arizona next year. Fumiko cheer us up. We just got back to our old life and spend many times together and made a lot of memories .Friends Forever ,,,,,,,,,,
