Suddenly
９月２６日に突然父が心不全で亡くなった。
亡くなる直前の週末にも電話で元気そうな声を聞いたばかりだったので驚いた。
家族の者達も皆信じられぬという顔で葬儀をすませ、そのまま身辺整理に追われている。
ビーコンの家から桐生市の実家までかなり時間がかかってしまうが、移動の時間にいろいろな事を考えることができる。 ぼくがずっとアメリカに暮らしていて距離があったせいか、逆にここ数年間は電話や里帰りした時などにいろいろなことを話す機会を持てたことが、今思うと有り難い。
Suddenly, my father past away by heart failure on September 26. It was very shocking because I was just talking with him on a phone on the previous weekend, and he sounded just fine then. Everyone in the family was stunned as well. The funeral went by without much realistic feeling.
Going back and forth between my parents’ house in Kiryu and Beacon takes a long time, but it gives me a lot of time to think about many things.
Maybe because I have been living so far away from my parents, we had been talking a lot on a phone and when I go back to visit them every summer last few years especially. And I feel fortunate to be able to have that kind of time.
