媽媽，我好想妳

by Yoshichi Shimada, 島田 洋七, 陳寶蓮 (Translator)

「能多一分一秒和媽媽在一起，比什麼都重要。和媽媽分開時，我要坐普通車，慢慢地，一站一站離開。」

在佐賀阿嬤家的日子，小昭廣最最企盼的，就是暑假。因為可以回到遠在廣島的媽媽身邊。延續佐賀家的「超級」血統，媽媽也是個厲害角色，溫柔美麗，一身歌舞絕活，還是個事業女強人！從居酒屋的媽媽桑，到廣島燒連鎖店老闆、爆紅節目主持人……島田洋七用最真摯的筆觸，記錄媽媽的精采故事，也寫下對媽媽的想念。

結業典禮那天，我的心早就飛到廣島的母親身邊了。一到家，心疼我的外婆立刻送我到火車站。她的大嗓門響徹車站大廳：「給我一張到廣島的特快車票。」我知道家裡窮，對外婆說：「阿嬤，特快車太貴，普通車就好啦。」可是外婆根本不聽，還跟我說：「一年就去這麼一次，哪怕是早到三、五分鐘、一分鐘也好，當然要坐特快車！」

喀噠喀噠、喀噠喀噠，火車奔馳。
喀噠喀噠、喀噠喀噠，接近母親。
想到這裡，我漸漸淚眼模糊。

送到佐賀寄養的「愛哭鬼昭廣」想念媽媽的時候……
