新聞の書評欄を読んで。
【最も印象に残った一行】
「寿命は確かにこの病気で縮まったかもしれません。それによって困る娘たちがいるのもわかっています。でも、病気になって無駄になることなんてないなと思っているんです。娘たちにも現実を受け入れてもらうことは大切やし、無駄な経験だと思って欲しくないんです。
健康なら一番いいんでしょうけど、私はそうじゃなかった。でも、こういうお母さんでも、いろいろな経験をして、吸収してもらえることはあるんじゃないかと信じています。病気になったことをいいように考えて、娘たちにもそう言う風に捉えて、大きくなってもらえたらいいなと思っているんですよ」
突然、自分の選択で、家族が生きるか死ぬかが決まりますと言われて、苦しまない人がいるだろうか。長い闘病生活は過酷だろう。っして、それだけ苦しい思いをさせて、目の面で苦しむ子供にまだ頑張れと言えるか。そして頑張らせたあげくに、そのいのちを救えないかもしれないとしてら、その時の気持ちはいかばかりであろう。
服を買う時は試着をする。美容院に行って髪を切ってもらう時は、相性のいい美容師に任せる。それなのに、人は医者がどんな死生観を持っているかを知らず、自分の運命をゆだねるのだ。
大粒の涙がこぼれた。娘夫婦と孫も到着し、肩を寄せ合って、ひとりの男性の顔をみなで眺めている。死は残された人々の絆を強くする。亡き人の最後の贈り物だ。
森山さんが亡くなって以来、彼が自分の心に忠実に生きたように、私も、行きたいところに行き、会いたい人に会い、食べたいものを食べ、体を大切にするように心掛けている。
