自從上次回國探望完嬤嬤
之後就聽說她最近身體變得衰弱而且還住進了看護病房
所有人的心情好像掛了一頓大鉛石
比近期的股票市場下落得更深更快
大家都在不安與憂慮之間
時間過得特別漫長

看著四爸的背影
把他送進了機場的候機室
當他轉身向我揮手示意叫我回家時
我忽然有一種莫名其妙的空虛和寂寞感
眼眶也不得已地濕了起來
我相信
他當時一定沒有看見....

To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

to appreciate beauty;

to find the best in others;

to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;

to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded.

by Ralph Waldo Emerson
