斎藤憐さんの葬儀。近しい人たちでお送りする。憐さんの声や表情や仕草があまりにも鮮明に思い起こされるので、まだまだほんとうの意味では実感が湧かない。何人かが言っていたのは、シャイというのとも微妙に違う独特な感覚の持ち主である憐さんが、「さよなら」を言うのが好きではなく、いつも別れ際には、黙ってすっといなくなっておられたということだ。確かにそうだと思う。
He leaves us behind without saying anything because he doesn’t like to say “Good-bye”.
I went to Ren Saito’s funeral. We had it with people who had close relationship with Ren-san. I can’t understand what happens to him really since I can still recall his voice, facial expressions and his gestures very clearly. I remember that every time when Ren went home, he didn’t say anything on the spot but just left without saying anything; He didn’t like to say “Good-bye”. That’s exactly true.
