Old Couple
You know I make it a point of go shopping to the supermarket, "Koyo" every morning. I usually take home a 2 liter plastic tea bottle, vegetable, fish, fruits, even toilette paper, tissue paper. For the most part I end up holding too many things with my both hands. One day a kind old man, who was shopping in the supermarket said to me, "Oh, boy! Shall we take you home by taxi?" I replied to him politely, "Thank you. But I can handle it. Moreover I'm going to a coffee shop now." When I was home, I told my wife about this incident. She said, "Those were the Watanabes who live on the 13th floor in the condo. The husband was the former executive of Sanwa Bank He suffers from cancer. His former wife died 10 years ago. Now he lives with his second wife." Earlier in June I walked back to my condo after I ran an errand for the family. Then I met an elderly woman in the elevator. All of a sudden she asked me, "How's your wife doing?"
