慢慢走 / Walking Slowly

媽發生小意外至今已一個月了,在家裡看她用著扶手慢慢走起路來感覺有點安慰。每天回到家後看見她都有點開心,因為這場意外讓我珍惜我與她的親子關係。媽住院的那個星期,家裡顯得格外的冷清,她回家後,冷清消失了。我為她祈禱,希望她早日康復,能像往日一樣走路時不用用扶手。

It has been 1 month for the accident, I feel comfortable when mom can walk slowly with the walking frame. Because of this accident, I treasuring our parent-child relationship, it gets closer and closer. When mom was hospitalized, I felt my home was so quiet and lonely; when she is back, the quiet & lonely disappeared. I pray to God, I hope mom having a speedy recovery, hope she can walk like previously without walking frame.

他們比誰都更傷心。。。 / They are saddest than anyone...

農歷新年已過,本來這個新年感覺不大開心因為母親發生小意外。但既然事情已過,就當做發了一場惡夢吧。我不開心,但地球另一端的某些人也許比我更傷心,他們是誰呢?

當每個華裔同胞正在開開心心地慶祝農歷新年時,你有否想過那些家裡某某成員不幸在農歷新年或前後幾天逝世的人,他們不是更傷心嗎?他們要如何度過?原本沒想過這樣的問題,只因農歷新年期間某親戚告知他的某某親戚往生了,再來就是初六上班時才得知同事的父親在年二十九逝世了,還有新年期間我家對面的殯儀館都有家庭成員為死者舉行殯禮,這幾件事都讓我轉換我的念頭以及站在他們的立場去想,他們比任何人都傷心。

媽在醫院都有一直在問為何她會意外跌倒,我對她說這可能是不幸中的大幸,看看其他病房的病人,插滿水管的、睡著不醒的、意外重傷不能說話的,他們不是更慘嗎?媽似乎了解了。

Chinese New Year has passed; at the beginning I feel sad for this New Year due to the small accident happened to mom. But since it was passed; just let it be. I feel sad but someone from the other side of the earth is saddest than me, who are them?

When each and every Chinese are celebrating the Chinese New Year happily, have you ever thought of those people who family member passed away on the Chinese New Year or before or after the Chinese New Year? They are saddest than me. How they celebrated the Chinese New Year? Actually I never thought of this question before, until my relative visited us on Chinese New Year and told us one of their relative has passed away just right before Chinese New Year, added when I back to work on the 6th day of Chinese New Year then only I was told by colleague one of my colleague father has passed away on the eve of Chinese New Year eve. Some more few funeral ceremonies were held at the funeral parlour just opposite to my apartment during Chinese New Year. Few of these cases changed my thought, they are saddest than anyone else.

Mom always asked me why the accident happened to her when she was in the ward, I told her it's just a minor accident, and maybe it's a great fortune for her. Look at other patients, those with full of tubes around their body, some cannot even move and sleep there for the whole day, some with serious accident and cannot even talk, are there more bad or miserable than us? Mom seems to understand.
