家族が増え、これからという時に出先で倒れてそのまま逝ってしまいました
数日は慌ただしく過ごし、お葬式も終わり妻と二人っきりになり冷凍庫を開けてみたら
数日前に母と一緒に食べた母特製のコロッケが入っていました

多めに作ってまた食べようと思っていたのでしょう
妻と僕はもう2度と味わうことのない
母の味を二人で噛みしめながら食べました

最後に残った一個を二人で譲り合ったことを覚えています
僕は妻に、母の味を覚えてほしかったので妻が食べるべきだ、と
妻は、今はもうこの世にいない母が作ってくれたものだし、もう二度と口にすることがないのだから僕に食べて欲しいと
結局僕が最後の一個を食べました![ぐすん](https://stat100.ameba.jp/blog/ucs/img/char/char3/061.png)

時々僕も熱々
のじゃがいも🥔をマッシュしたり、揚げたり手伝うけどね![チョキ](https://stat100.ameba.jp/blog/ucs/img/char/char2/105.gif)

門之助🌰
My mother passed away right after I had gotten married.
With my wife joining in the family, we could have spent more happy days, but my mother broke down when she was out and died the next day.
After spending hectic days sorting out things you have to do on your family’s death, my wife and I opened freezer and found a Tupperware containing potato croquettes she had made several days ago.
Thinking of my mother in heaven, my wife and I tasted the croquettes we would never be able to have again.
When we came to the last one, both of us asked each other to have it.
While I asked my wife to take it to remember the taste of my mother.
But my wife wanted me to have it, “now that she’s gone, it’s going to be the very last one you can ever have made by your mom in heaven”.
And I take it and tasted it very hard to remember her taste.
Then the pic is potato croquettes made by my wife. (I sometimes help her mashing potatoes or frying the croquettes, though.)
It’s our special and favorite menu.
