I am afraid that many prominent actors and actress passed away recently.

Whenever I hear these kinds of the news that some and upper generation’s celebrities pass away one after another, I feel that I am also going to pass away in the near future.

So I think something deeply in the present.

-----

The other day, my senior daughter attended a funeral, and was given a gift in return for a funeral offering. (It was the assorted laver.)

My second daughter asked me what that was, I explained about the gift.

-----

Daughter:"What kinds of the gift are there?"

Ebata:"Dried bonito, condiment, and tea leaves, for example"

Daughter:"Only foods?"

Ebata:"The food gift might mean that we should forget the deceased as soon as possible, and let us live our life in a constructive manner".

Daughter: "What gift do you want to give them in your funeral?"

Ebata:"I think that I am going to include my life in the gift"

Daughter:"H'm."

Ebata:"Extremely hot curry in vacuum packs is the best. I want to make and keep them by myself before my death"

In this step, my wife interrupted our talks.

Wife:"Absolutely NOT. I will be shamed"

Ebata:"I will have already passed away before giving others to the gift"

Wife:"It is displaying a lack of consistency that "forgets the deceased as soon as possible". I think that a worldly desire to keep your life with violent impression.

Ebata:"Oh..."

Wife:"For the second thought, I don't have to care, because I will pass away before you."
