「そりゃほかに看る人いないでしょ」
長男の答え。ぶっきらぼうというかいやいやというか。でもその中に優しさが見え隠れ。
ありがとう。その気持ちだけでうれしい。かーちゃん、病気で寝込むことのないように頑張るよー。
I asked my older son if he would look after me if I am sick enough to need assistance at home.
Well, there is no one else who can look after you (but me), is there?
was his response. Not sure what he was truly thinking when he said this - was he thinking it is a bother to look after me but he had no any other choice? Or was it a genuine gentle gesture? Whatever it was that went through his mind, I am grateful for his kind words. And those words were enough to inspire me I will do the best I can to look after myself staying healthy as long as I can.
