兄と二人で富山まで日帰りで行ってきました。母の実家にいらっしゃる親戚の方々と久しぶりにお会いしてきました。皆さんもお元気そうでしたが、流石に年の流れを感じさせます。過疎化も進むなかで今後の商売を考える身近な親戚の声を聞いて、兄と私は軽率な提案はできずに難しさを知らされました。暖冬故に商売が思うようにいかない現実も知らせています。皆さんの事を思って帰宅の途につきました。クルミくんは帰宅したら既に眠っていました。
My brother and I took a day trip to Toyama. We met with relatives at my mother’s family home for the first time in a very long time. Everyone seemed to be in good health, but I could feel the passing of the years. Hearing the voices of the relatives close to us thinking about future business amidst the depopulation, my brother and I were informed of the difficulty, not being able to make any rash suggestions. We have also been informed of the reality that business is not going as smoothly as we would like due to the warm winter. I thought all of them as I headed home. Kurumi was already sleeping when I got home.
