My wife and I talk little by little. Of course, it’s still hard for me to form complete sentences, and my wife often interprets and completes what I’m trying to say. Nevertheless, sitting face-to-face and talking like this feels genuinely good. It felt like we were attempting a deep conversation after a long time. During the past period when I’d lost my memory and couldn’t speak, having such a normal conversation with my wife was unimaginable. Now, the fact that it’s slowly becoming possible is even moving.
Inside the hospital room, some people are watching television. They laugh loudly at the comedy show. But I can’t join their laughter. The content on TV brings me no enjoyment whatsoever; in fact, it just feels noisy. I simply prefer the sunlight more. In the sunlight, I fall into thought. As I watch the sun, the realization that “I was injured” suddenly comes to me more clearly.
I’m gradually coming to terms with reality now. I’m slowly realizing the name of my illness, stroke, and how severe my language disorder is due to damage to my brain’s Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas. But I still can’t precisely understand why I got injured, why this happened, or what went wrong. Those times feel hazy, like a dream. There’s a strong sense of regret. I sometimes find myself consumed by an unknown self-reproach, wondering if I made some mistake in the past or if I was lacking in some way.
My wife and I talk while watching the sunlight. It’s been so long. I haven’t been able to talk much all this time. There were many days when my frustration and helplessness prevented me from speaking a single proper word to my wife. I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry. Before I got sick, I think I was too busy with trivial things. I regret the days I lived frantically, not knowing what was truly important. Now, in this ordinary sunlight, this time with my wife feels more precious and warmer than anything else. Through the painful experience of the stroke, I am finally realizing the true meaning of life and the value of my loved ones.
