SL: 给爸往生隔日,收到遠在美國的Steven來信。一直忍著的淚水不止流下,今夜再讀,依然淚流滿面,這個孩子….
媽媽,
I heard the news from dad this morning.
How are you? How is everyone?
I don’t really know what to say, but I remember a quote from Tuesdays with Morrie:
“Death ends a life, not a relationship.”
—Morrie Schwartz
My relationship and my experiences with grandpa help guide me throughout my life. Fathers are very influential in their children’s lives , and I can sympathize with your feelings about your father. I wish I could have spent more time with grandpa and known him better.
People say that the mark of a man isn’t what he does in his lifetime, but what he leaves behind when he says goodbye. Grandpa helped raise you to be a wonderful mother, and I am proud to be part of this family. In the days that follow, let us all keep his memory with us.
