最好的生日禮物

四月和五月是溫哥華的春天，百花齊放，姹紫嫣紅，甚是迷人。我的51歲生日也在春天剛剛度過，女兒寫了很美好的詩送給我，心裏很是歡喜。生活雖有種種不順和坎坷，但這些美好的瞬間值得保存下來。它們就像小小加油站，當我的能量處於低位時，總能給我加油充電，讓我始終對生活充滿希望，微笑麵對。

女兒的詩：

ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU ARE

WISDOM

FLAIR

SWIFT

You blessed us with wisdom as precious as the stardust and boundless as the sea.

You've walked the path of No Man's Land, conquering formidable fields.

You are so irreplaceably, so phenomenally you.

Our mother for eternity.

 

Your humour is unparalleled, and your laughter shoves bad days away.

You caress me and harness the power of ten thousand paper folds.

 

You take my breath away.

The willow in the summer.

You are skyscrapers of passion and delight.

 

You are whimsical in all of your symmetry.

Splitting wind and light at your footsteps.

You ferry freckled tones, oranges, and autumn leaves.

 

You've lent hands of steel as soft as a duvet.

I ponder and linger in the silhouette of all the things that you are.

養育孩子最美好的回報不是等他們長大以後能給予我們什麽；對我而言，陪伴他們長大的過程就是最好的回報。我們彼此感受對方的愛，以尊重和支持為回報。這個過程不光是孩子的成長，也包括我自己的成長，希望自己配得上孩子眼中的美好。
