It's inevitable that welcome and farewell meals among our circle are held at Tatsuya. Before and after a trip, we just want Japanese food! It's our comfort food in so many ways. We've had good times and fabulous memories in this restaurant.
A very dear girlfriend's off to spend 2 (or more) years at her UK office. She's bundling the husband and 2 kids along. I've utmost respect for her husband who's quit his higher-paying job and is going along to support her. He's going to be a stay-at-home-dad to the super vivacious and active kids.
It was wonderful chatting over dinner and remembering how we were just 21 years old, shared the darkest secrets, and roamed the world together. So many things have changed since then, but our friendship has only deepened and evolved. She's never lost that burning edge to climb the corporate ladder and freely admits that she places the sense of self worth and satisfaction paramount; their relationship as man and wife takes precedence over their identity as parents.
This is going to be a whole new exciting chapter for her. She'll be the parent holding a bloody demanding full-time job, and the husband will be the home-maker. I tell you, the husband is absolutely thrilled to bits with this idea. He's got his days all planned out, and he can't quite wipe that silly smirk off his face. After his gruelling regular 16-hour work days, he's really going to enjoy this stint.
So babe! I wish you much fun and happiness! We will be as we have always been. :)
