Once A Year
I've been leading a "single" life for the past ten days. My wife's been in Nagoya, her hometown. It's not that we have marital problems, of course.
When we got engaged and decided to move to my hometown, which is in a remote place from Nagoya, I promised her mother - her father passed away when she was in junior high - that I would let her come home to see her at least once a year. And I've kept the promise ever since. Together at times, not together at most other times.
She'll be back this afternoon. It's chotto tereru to say this, but I re-realize how much she means to me in those periods. And hopefully she does too.
Today is our wedding anniversary.

Oh, Happy Anniversary, Kiyo! It's a pleasure to hear this! Here's to a safe trip home for your wife. My wife Beth's birthday was Friday, and our anniversary is November 7th (10 years, this year).
