You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
今日も天気が悪かったので、長男といっしょに駅で電車を見てきた。
Due to the bad weather today, I took my son to the train station to watch the trains.
駅に到着する電車、駅から出ていく電車に手を振っていると、乗務員だけでなく、中には乗客も手を振り返してくれる人もいる。
We were waving our hands on the platform, and to our surprise, the train conductors and some passengers on the trains waved back to us.
そんな中、今日は驚くべきことが起こった。駅に到着した電車から降りてきた車掌さんがわたしたちに声をかけてくれ、長男に電車のシールをくれた。
But that’s not all! We received unexpected news today. A train conductor from one of the arriving trains approached us and started a conversation. To our delight, she even gave us train stickers as a gift.
40年近く生きてきて、わたしとしても初めての経験である。しかも、このシール、間違いなく非売品なので、価値も高い。
It was a first-time experience for me in my nearly 40 years of life to receive something from train conductors and to have a chat with them. Moreover, these stickers are not available for purchase, making them even more special.
長男はもちろんのこと、わたしとしても、興奮する出来事であった。
The experience brought joy to both my son and me, and I was just as excited as he was. It’s these small, unexpected moments that can brighten up our day!
To be continued.
