Today I woke up sick. I had spent almost all day in bed sleeping. I needed to have that much resting.
Yesterday after I came back from the acupuncture treatment, I had spent the rest of my day sobbing. My both eyes were swollen and I had suffered from dull headache.
Last night I had a good talk with my husband and daughter. They are willing to support me on my healing.
One of the findings during the acupuncture treatment of yesterday was my husband’s Japanese language. When my mom and my husband met for the first time in Japan, my mom asked him to study Japanese. My mom said she wanted to communicate with my husband in Japanese. My husband promised he would.
However, it never happened.
In these past 10 years, I reminded him from time to time. He didn’t like hearing that and he would get mad at me. I have met many international marriage couple. They have made efforts to master their spouses’ language so that both of husband and wife can speak both languages to communicate. I always feel envious of them. Between my husband and me, the only language we can communicate is English. I feel it unfair. I have made efforts in mastering English, while he hasn’t. In order for a good communication, we need mutual efforts. I mentioned that to my husband last night.
I experienced a small effort this morning.
This morning, my husband said to me “Ohayo” (good morning in Japanese). Then, right before he left for work, he said “Itte-kimasu” (“off I go” in Japanese).
Just only two words, but they were enough to make me feel happy.
I never thought I have gotten hurt by my husband’s not speaking Japanese. We always hide our true feeling deep inside of our mind. Once in a while, we need to clean up such clutter, before it gets piled up to become a cause to bother your body.
