We met at Motomati-Cyukagai station at 6:15 last Saturday.
When my husband, my daughter, and I arrived at the station, I found my younger son watching us with a smile at the ticket gate.
He led us using his iphone to the Chinese restaurant which my elder son and his wife were supposed to wait for us.

Although there were full of people walking narrow street, some cars drove through slowly on the same street.
Suddenly I fond familiar faces in the crowd, and they were my son and his wife waving us.

They took us the restaurant and we were guided to the second floor.
We sat around a circle table and were pleased with the first meeting of all members after the son's wedding.

We ate and talked a lot and had a great time.
This tie of my family is the most precious thing for me and I cherish it.

幸せなひとときですね。我が家には子どもがいないのでうらやましい限りです。こんなに大きな息子さんがいらっしゃるとはちょっと驚きました。

  • Akikoさん、いつもコメントをありがとうがざいます。＾＾
    子どもは、いつかは親の手を離れてそれぞれの世界を持つようになります。そうなると結局残るのは夫婦二人。夫婦二人で仲良くやっていくには、工夫がいりますよね。;-)

    I assume you mean 18:15 here, so you should specify 6:15 P.M. in my opinion.

  • Although the narrow streets were full of people walking, some cars also drove slowly on the same street.

    I apologize for the rewrite, but I think it sounds better this way. 'same street' might not be necessary but I've left here here.

    'some cars also drove slowly on it.' is what I mean.

 
  • Suddenly I fond familiar faces in the crowd, and they were my son and his wife waving us.

  • Suddenly I found familiar faces in the crowd; they were my son and his wife waving at us.

    I think a semicolon works better here and is a more stylized way of writing it.

    I'm sorry, I don't think this correction is actually very good. I'd probably need to see what you would say in Japanese to correct it properly.

 

It sounds like you had a very nice time. Do you often enjoy eating Chinese food?
