婚姻届

プランターに植えたチューリップが綺麗に咲いている。チューリップの花って昼間開いて夜閉じるのを知ってましたか？確かに蝶やミツバチなどの昆虫の来ない夜に花開く必要が無いのは判るけど・・・咲いたばかりで元気がいいからかな？お店で買ってくる切り花のチューリップはそんなこと無いよね。部屋に置いているせいかなぁ？品種が違うからかな？そんなの常識？（ちびまるこ風）

さてヤンキースの松井が４日に婚姻届を提出したって記事が出ていたけど、実は私も４日に浜松市中区役所に届けてきました。ということで、長～い独身生活に終止符を打ちました。って言っても同居は６月末以降だけどね。。。

お相手は掛川在住の薬剤師さん

この４月４日は、「大安」だったし、その他もろもろ関係書類によると日が良くて決めたのだ。。。ゴロもいいしね。４と４が合わさって「四合わせ＝しあわせ」なのさ。。。。

涙！戦死英兵のラブレター（原文）

*２２歳の英国人兵士(Mr.Lee Thornton)が、２００６年９月５日イラクで銃弾に倒れた。戦場に赴く前、彼は婚約者(Ms.Helen O'Pray)に一通の手紙を残していた。もしぼくが死んだら、開封して読んで欲しいと・・・・英国中に感動の涙を誘ったピュアな恋文を是非原文で読んでいただきたい。

Hi babe,

I don’t know why I am writing this because I really hope that this letter never gets to you, because if it does that means I am dead. It also means I never had time to show you just how much I really did love you.

You have shown me what love is and what it feels like to be loved. Every time you kissed me and our lips touched so softly I could feel it. I got the same magical feeling as our first kiss. I could feel it when our hearts get so close they are beating as one. You are the beat of my heart, the soul in my body; you are me because without you I am nothing. I love you Helen, you are my girlfriend, my fiancee and my best friend.

You are the person I know I could turn to when I needed help, you are the person I looked at when I needed to smile and you are the person I went to when I needed a hug. When I am away it is like I have left my soul by your side. You have shown me so much while you have been in my life that if I lost you I could not live. You have shown me how to live and you have shown me how to be truly happy. I want you to know that every time I smile that you have put it there. You make me smile when others can’t, you make me feel warm when I am cold.

You have shown me so much love and so much more. I want you to know how much you mean to me. You are my whole world and I love you with all my heart, you are my happiness.

There is no sea or ocean that could stop my love for you. It is the biggest thing I have ever had.

When I say I love you I am trying to say . . . That you make me feel warm and great about myself, you make me smile and laugh every day; you make time to talk to me and listen to what I have to say. I know God put me and you on this earth to find each other, fall in love and show the rest of the world what true love really is.

I know this is going to sound sad but every night I spent away I had a photo of you on my headboard. Each night I would go to bed, kiss my fingers then touch your face. I put the photo over my bed so you could look over me as I slept. Well now it is my turn to look over you as you sleep and keep you safe in your dreams.

I will always be looking over you to make sure you’re safe. Helen, I want to say something and I mean this more than I ever did before. You were the love of my life, the girl of my dreams.

Just because I have passed away does not mean I am not with you. I’ll always be there looking over you keeping you safe.

So whenever you feel lonely just close your eyes and I’ll be there right by your side. I really did love you with all I had, you were everything to me.

Never forget that, and never forget I will always be looking over you. I love you, you are my soulmate.

Love always and for ever.

Lee
