Grandma’s Birthday

Yesterday was my Grandma’s birthday and she is 81 years old now.

Since last month, she had an operation with her eyes, she has been having hard time, and I wanted to make her cheer up a little.

These some years, it has been told that blueberry would be good for your eyes in Japan, and I know she’s been trying to get more blueberries than ever. Then, I bought a birthday cake which has blueberries inside of it for her.

And tonight, my father who is her son and my brother planed the special dinner for her birthday!

These 2 presents changed nothing with her eyes, all of us know, but it seemed that she had a bit of happiness and laughed a lot, even she got tears in her eyes while she was laughing!

I believe she will make me annoyed about something in near future, but I still love her so much and she loves me, too.

I wish we will be able to celebrate her birthday as long as possible.

 

Grandma, Happy Birthday!

Be happy and healthy, stay with us more for a while.

Responsibility as a daughter

My father suddenly announced that he strongly wants to go Hiroshima stadium and watch the game, Hiroshima Carp vs. Chunichi Dragons. But, his wife and son refused to go with him.

Then, it became MY responsibility staying with him at the stadium.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fortunately, Hiroshima defeated Chunichi, it might be because of the Olympic games, Hiroshima have no player for it but 4 good Chunichi players have been playing as a member of the national team. But, the result was the result. I don’t mind if it was a little unfair for Chunichi!

The most interesting thing was, there were my aunt, uncle and their son in the stadium without planning and separately! I sent an e-mail to my grandmother (she is not the one I mentioned in a past post) from my mobile phone, and she told each of us the fact by her reply. We tried to see, but we couldn’t at all. It was a little disappointing for us, but no problem, because Hiroshima defeated Chunichi!

Do your best, Carp!

I really, really want to see the opening game in the new Hiroshima stadium on the next season!

Should I follow my mother?

My mother said to me,

“Hey, look, you are a loser!”

What!?

Why?

Because I had not known that Kotooshu had come to Hiroshima and missed the chance to meet him.

She also said,

“Oh, poor Kotooshu. He lost a fan.”

Why?

Because he didn’t contact ME before he came here, then, she thought I ought to stop supporting him.

Oh, Mom.

Are you serious?

Is that the way you want me to follow?

I doubt it is right, but she is MY MOTHER…

 

 

No, don’t worry.

I will always support you, Kotooshu!

My Grandma told me very seriously,

“If you won’t be near me, I would be lonely. So, won’t marry a man who lives far away from here.”

No, Grandma, don’t be so silly.

I know she loves me so much, but it means that her happiness is more important for her than MY happiness.

I love her, of course, but every time when she said something like this, I have a feeling like I’ll never have a conversation with her about my future.

 

“I’m sorry, but I can’t marry you because my Grandma won’t be happy without me.”

 

Oh, no, that’s impossible.

I’m not her only one family, she has lots of members of her family. Even her elder sisters are living here in Hiroshima!

 

Well, I’m wondering if a woman refuse to marry a man for this reason, how the man feel?

That means the woman care about her Grandmother more than the man.

Get angry?

Be disgusted?

Find no word to say?

Tell you your opinion, please!  

 

I know why she said such a thing.

I’m the first Grandchild for her and have been living near her. I’m the only one granddaughter who has been living in this city, and other granddaughters and her daughter have been living in the other city far away from here. She has 2 grandsons and they have been living here, but she felt that they are a little cold than us, girls.

I know, I know.

But! I was irritated with her sometimes…

 

I don’t have any plan about my marriage and it means that I will stay near her for a while.

So, let’s go, Grandma! I will support you!

At least for a while, until I have a plan to marry with someone who lives far away from here.
