渡の誕生日が近いので、22歳の時の渡の誕生日に香穂がfacebookにあげた文章をこちらにも転載しておきます。いつも真ん中あたりから、涙がでる全然いけてないダメな母ですが、この2人の子供を授かったことは、全力で私が生きていく力になっています。
我が家にきてくれてありがとう。
以下、娘のFacebookより。
この子と22年。
沢山戦い抜いて、生き延びて、楽しんで、喧嘩して、笑っ
姉弟という関係ではちょっと変な方かもしれないけど、私
自閉症ってのは自慢です。自閉症だからこそ彼は今の彼だ
そんな世界一の相棒に:22歳の誕生日おめでとう。
22 years with this guy.
We survived a lot together and enjoyed life together and fought together and against each other and we even plotted to take over the world together. Though that plan ended with us agreeing to just attempt to make a blanket fort.
I've come to realize we're a weird pair when it comes to siblings but I guess that's what makes us different and a tiny bit special. I'd add that whole thing with the born with no heartbeat and synesthesia and getting girls' attention but I already said that so I'll skip all that. But I'll keep the whole autism thing. It's what made you be you and what made me be me and it's what got us here. You've given me a special place and experience as a family member and a sister.
I'm attempting not to get too sappy but here's to you my little brother and partner in crime.
Happy 22nd birthday man.
