マミーは強い!

Mommy is strong!

我が子が完治することのない病と診断されどんなにか辛く悲しいと思うが、
私の前では涙ひとつ溢さずに笑顔で頑張っている。
I imagine how hard it would be to be diagnosed that her sons cannot be cured, but she is doing her best, a smille on her face, never shows a drop of tears in front of me.  

(大声で泣いてもいいんだよ・・・心配かけまいと頑張っている・・・・)
(You can cry out loud. . .it's OK. . . she is trying not to make me worry. . .)
(最近になって、最初の一年間はベットの中で毎日泣いていたと漏らしたが…..) 
(Though only recent, she confessed that she had been crying every night in the bed for the first one year. . .)
タイヘンな状況にいても娘はやさしい・・・
She is always gentle and kind leading such a difficult life. . . 
90歳のおばあちゃんに似合うと思うからとブラウスや
セーターをセッセと日本に送って来る。
母の日、誕生日、クリスマスも欠かさない・・・
日本にいる5人の孫たちからは何も届かないのに・・・
She keeps sending to her 90-year old grand mother in Japan a blouse and a sweater that she thinks going well with her.
Never misses presents for mother's day, birthday, Christmas. . .

Nothing from her other 5 grandchildren living in Japan though. . .

永い間、全く音沙汰のない自分の父親夫婦にも
マックス、メイソンの写真と共にクリスマスプレゼントを
毎年送り続けている娘・・
(何も知らなかった父親の元妻・・私です・・)
For a long time, she is sending to her father and his wife a Christmas present with a photo of Max & Mason every year, without hearing any news from them . .

(Her father's ex-wife did not know anything about it . .  That's me . . )

「ホントに 心がひろいなぁ~、 えらいなぁ~」
"She is really generous, she is great. . ."
ある日、娘がポツリとつぶやいた。
One day, she said to herself.
「パパは孫が自閉症だからいやなのかなぁ~」(涙・・涙・)

"I wonder he does not like us because his grandchildren are autistic."   (tears & tears . . .)
