Thankful To Be Married, Thank You Wife!

I often find myself thinking how fortunate I am to be married. For example, when we were sending clothes to my mother in Minami Sanriku (one of the most devastated areas: see http://voicesfromjapan.blogspot.com/2011/03/movies-from-ground-tsunami-engulfs.html), my wife knew to send things that I would never have been able to think of on my own, such as specific kinds of warm underwear or socks. My wife even knew to send a complete set of cosmetics, again, a need that I would have been entirely oblivious to. My mother called and thanked us profusely. She had never before used some of the makeup items my wife had sent, found them wonderfully useful, and asked us for more! Thank you, dear wife!

いやしかし結婚してて良かったと思うことが結構ある。たとえば母の支援用衣類。暖かいインナーやら、もこもこ靴下やら、俺だけならまず思いつかない。化粧品一式についても然り。今まで拭くだけコットンをつかったことのなかった母はしきりに感動して、詰め替え用を要求してきた。嫁様ありがとう。
