これをブログに書くかどうか最初は悩んでいたけどやっぱり自分の人生の大きい事だし、みんなにどせい知らせなきゃならないし。日本語がうまくないけど言いたい事は、先週すみちゃんとお別れでした。三年半一緒に過ごしてたので、別れたくても別れたくなくてもつらい事です。あまり言えることはないと思う。楽しい事たくさんあったし、大変な事もあったし。思い出を山盛り一緒に作りました。アルバムにも写真いっぱい。
真ん中の文節は英語で読んで下さい。難しくて翻訳しない。
つまり、寂しがる。っていうか、寂しがっている。ほんまに。しかもすみちゃんには今別れの事意外にも色んな大変な事があるから特に今は友達からのサポートがとっても大事。（もう、まったくうまく日本語かけへんな。こんなに真面目な事ならもっとスムーズな言い方で言いたい！）しかし、僕の方は、まぁ、最初の数週間大変やと思うけど取り合えず一歩一歩で人生を進めるように。恰もよし、ここでサポートしてくれるいい友達も出来たし。
たまに人生に荒波がありますが、そのとき必死になって船具を持って、風波を通るまでに歯を食いしばる事しかない。
So, I wasn't sure whether to put this in my blog or not, but it's a pretty major event in my life, and I'll have to tell everybody sooner or later. For those who don't know yet, Sumiko and I broke up last week, after 3 1/2 years together. I don't know if there's much to say. We had some great times together, we had some difficult times together. Lots of memories, lots of photos in the album.
All the parties we had at her place in Tsuruhashi, potluck smorgasbords served on cardboard boxes in her tatami room; fancy romantic dinners overlooking the city lights; not-so-romantic cheap ramen dinners when we just couldn't agree on where to eat before all the restaurants closed; exciting adventures seeking out ancient temples and castles; badly-planned adventures that ended in confusion and tears; all the a cappella concerts and nights of karaoke; all the Lord of the Rings and Star Wars movies we had to go out to the countryside to see because they were sold out in Osaka; frozen toes in the cold of winter and dripping sweat in the heat of summer; the countless cups of green tea at her little kitchen table, and the countless games of go on my little coffee table; the Chinatown bus; the trips up to Camp Bob. That just barely scratches the surface.
I will miss her a lot. I already do. Any of you who know her, she's going through a lot at the moment (not just our breakup) and I know she could really use your support and friendship right now. As for me, well... the first few weeks will be pretty rough, but I'm doing my best to keep putting one foot in front of the other, and I've been fortunate to make some great friends here who are really supportive.
Sometimes you have to cross some tumultuous seas in life, and you've just gotta grab onto the rigging, hold on with your teeth, and sail on through it.
