icalsight of the train reflection 1000 words

a crisp autumn morning, the sky is golden and the clouds are thick. is it the air that has improved or is it the sudden arrival of a cold north wind that has cleared up the雾霾? while sitting in my return journey on the train, I suddenly remember what to give her for her birthday present. each time i look out the window, she’ll ask me, "peter, what gift did you buy her?" every now and then, i’ll open the bag of snacks on the plane and give her a little piece. even though it’s not much, this small thing makes all the difference.

when i read the book *a train called * by kristintha christinakis, i felt like she was sharing my story. in the 1950s, some children were left behind their parents and grew up without a loving family. they could be forgotten for generations to come because there’s no one around to provide for them. while others had stories of being rescued by families from poverty or war—some were from rural areas, others from big cities—some would find a home in the city that is theirs.

as i sat on my train waiting to catch my flight, i felt so alone, but also filled with hope. i was hoping for a better future and wanted it to be one that reflected her. i knew what i was going through, though—the uncertainty of not knowing who to ever give me. i wasn’t even sure about the names of the other children on the train.

when i got off the plane, i thought of my own children. each time i rode the train with them, i felt like i was in their shoes. when she pointed at mine and laughed, it made me feel so much more connected to her than I ever had before. i remembered being 10 years old, sitting in a dark train car, waiting for me to get off—knowing that my parents would be gone but that they wouldn’t leave me behind.

the next day, i read the book *a train called * again, and found myself reflecting on what I had learned from the train’s story. even though i didn’t get to stay with a family, i knew it wasn’t all that bad for me. i could feel better knowing that my children would always have a loving home, no matter how far away they went.

as i drove away, i thought about my childhood in a small rural town. when i was five years old, i lived near my grandparents who ran the hardware store on my street. parents and brothers worked hard to make money for their families, but i never saw them until I was older. i would look out the window every day and see my grandparents walking down the street—people passing by, talking about their lives.

one of the things that made me feel so lucky was being in my grandparents’ house during the day. every morning, i had a little snack from my parents’ bag that stayed with me for days. when we went on walks, i’d sit beside my grandpa and let him play with his sheep. it felt like a family home to me.

i also saw how much support i could give my children. whether they’re learning English or doing homework, the people around me always made sure that I was okay. i knew my parents would always be by their side, no matter what happened with me. but as time went on, it wasn’t enough for just a few days.

one day, when i was 91 years old and still had hope of finding myself, i heard the words "this train has gone"—a sound that made me feel so heavy. I looked out the window and saw my grandparents sitting in the back of their car, watching as the train moved on. they didn’t look at me now—they watched as others passed by.

i thought about all the times when I had been in a train car with someone else. i’d watched for hours as another grandparent walked down the street, their face full of worry. some days, i was sitting beside my grandparents and learning to ride on the train—knowing that they were watching me too.

the next day, i took off in my own train. when I arrived at the station, I held out for something special. a man standing there looked up from his job and said, "you look lucky." it wasn’t until later that i realized how much he’d helped—like, not just for me, but for all of us.

since then, i’ve always been a part of this family. i’ve been the big mountain, lifting the kids along as they climbed higher and higher. even though I didn’t make it the top of the mountain, knowing that someone would stay in my care long after I did.

this train has gone—so have we all? now, if there’s a day when the sun is shining and the wind doesn’t blow so hard, maybe i can stand here today, showing my support to those who are still lost in their worlds.
