The good wife


Susies Mann fiel immer wieder ins Koma seit einigen Wochen.

Susie's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several weeks.
Die Lage sah düster aus, aber sie war jeden Tag an der Seite seines Bettes.

Things looked grim, but she was by his bedside every single day.
Eines Tages winkte er sie heran.

One day he motioned for her to come close to him.
"Weisst du", flüsterte er, als sich seine Augen mit Tränen füllten, "du warst bei mir in allen schlechten Zeiten."

"You know" he whispered, his eyes filling with tears, "you have been with me through all the bad times."
"Als ich gefeuert wurde, bist du nicht von meiner Seite gewichen. Als mein Geschäft unterging, warst du da."

"When I got fired, you stuck right beside me. When my business went under, there you were."
"Als wir unser Haus verloren haben, warst du da. Als sich meine Gesundheit verschlechterte, warst du immer noch an meiner Seite."

"When we lost the house, you were there. When my health started failing, you were still by my side."
"Und weisst du was?"

"And you know what?"
"Was denn, Schatz?", fragte sie sachte.

"What, dear?" she asked gently.
"Ich glaube du bringst mir Unglück!"

"I think you're bad luck!"
