The 46th anniversary

 It is our wedding anniversary for the 46th. I could hardly believe it has been that long since those days.



At the campus of the med school where we had the residency.
Repeatedly uploaded here.


Have we had any hope for future? Possibly, no. Just getting used to normal routine as doctors. Have spent the days of training. Everything was new to us. We owe much to the senior doctors or the patients themselves. Most of senior ones have already passed away. I should have said words of thanks to some of them. 

Most of all, I should thank my wife for her efforts as a wife, a mother and a specialist in psychiatry. It is more than an abstract idea of gratitude but memories of concrete facts. I firmly believe it is the time when I should support her. Who knows I, myself, could be the one who should be cared for by her.     

I don't know how long we could go on living this countryside. Maybe, until either of us could not drive a car or get seriously ill. For tht time being, I hope this days of Indian summer blessed with good health may continue.

Preparing special curry and rice with a piece of cake, a humble dinner, we would congratulate today. Forty six years have passed.

    1. Thanks, Ron. I often remember of our QSOs together with Stan K5AS. Was it in '80s? I wish you and yours all the same.

  3. I sit here smiling, joyful for you and your wife. 46 years. There is a poem, "the dash between the dates" you and your wife are certainly filling that dash.

  6. Happy Anniversary, Shin and Chiaki! Wishing you continued good health and happiness in the countryside. We have almost been married thirty years, and it is surprising to say so much time has gone by. A good marriage is such a blessing! Congratulations to the two of you!—Susan

    1. Thanks, Susan. Yes, time is surely flying away so fast. We should be conscious of the precious time going by. Or we will get too old to appreciate it. You are still young and have a long way to go. Good care of yourself and of your husband. A pleasant holiday season to you.

    2. Thank you, Shin. I have shared your good wishes with my husband, who joins me in thanks. My great-aunt Tippy lived to be 102 with a good sense of humor. I often think that from her perspective we are all so young. I hope you and Chiaki enjoy the beauties of this season, heading into the new year!
