I was waiting to take a shower.
But suddenly, I thought: “I don’t even know what I’ve been thinking all this time.”
So I asked my wife,
“How did I shower during that time?”
She told me,
in the beginning, I couldn’t wash myself.
She had to help me wash my body—
even help when I used the toilet.
Hearing that made my heart feel heavy.
Why don’t I remember any of it?
Is it a blessing? Or is it something sad?
I couldn’t figure it out.
She said she had stayed by my side the whole time.
But I had been short-tempered, angry,
and said hurtful things to others.
She told me she was exhausted.
That’s why, when I briefly became aware, she had stepped away.
Living with others—
I realized how hard it really is.
And still,
I am truly thankful to my wife for helping me all that time.
And I’m sorry.
I regret that my harsh words and actions
may have hurt my wife and my family.
I probably could have received more medical care and support,
but I closed myself off.
It’s unfortunate I didn’t let myself be helped.
From now on,
I hope my heart becomes warmer.
Someday,
I want to become a gentle and kind person.
