My mum sent me away for a few weeks when I was young because she didn't want me around.

独自乘坐12小时的旅程去往一个陌生的地方.
There was this girl,
who would have been about 15 years old.

She noticed me crying at the train station and came and sat next to me when my mother left.

跟我聊一些无关紧要的事情,
让我忘记即将发生的事情.
This was about 25 years ago and I will forever remember that girl.

I think of her often and I hope that she is living a wonderful life.

The slim chance that she is reading this; it's people like you who make the world a beautiful place.

那么像她这样的人让世界变得美好.
I'm living a happy life now and I often do my best to turn someone's unhappy day into a happy one like you did for me.

也常常尽力让别人的不快乐变成快乐,
就像她曾经为我做的那样.
