今天下班時接到好友勉的電話, 告訴我她將於十一月跟拍拖年多的男友結婚, 還邀請我跟一眾中學同學出任姊妹.
我跟她於中一認識, 因住在同一屋村所以每天也一同乘坐巴士上學. 半個小時的車程中, 我們無所不談, 感情就是這般一點一滴累積起來. 就是及後我修讀文科, 她修讀理科, 又各自升讀不同的大學; 畢業後她到內地工作, 我則當上 '以四海為家' 的空服, 也無損我們的感情. 就算是多時不見, 一談起來卻毫無生疏的感覺. 這就是真朋友吧!!!
得知喜訊後, 我笑罵她比我還恨嫁!! 真的, 她老早跟男方說明: 不結婚的話便不要走在一起!!! 起初我還覺得她膽子真大, 因為這對男方來說無疑是一種壓力呀!! 也擔心她對男方的痴心是單向的. 但事實證明: 她的真心換來一個好丈夫, 我真的衷心替她高興!!! 祝她跟她那個又高又瘦的男友白頭到老, 永結同心!!
談起婚宴, 下個月大姐會有兩位姊妹出嫁, 其中一位更會於十週年拍拖紀念日當天下嫁初戀男友呢~!!! 這件事光是想想也覺得浪漫不已哩!!! 
話說回來, 當姊妹的我真的要趁這段日子好好減肥了~
一年前的今天, 四川發生了大地震. 剛才翻看一年前自己寫的一篇關於四川地震的blog, 回憶起那時從報章上電視上看到新聞, 心頭不禁一酸. 日子過得真快呀!
近來從電視看到很多四川地震一週年的特輯, 主要是報導四川巿民的災後生活. 有的跟丈夫努力 '造人', 希望另生一個孩子; 有的積極克服義肢之不便, 重拾昔日跳舞之娛; 也有的忘卻喪夫 / 妻之痛, 另覓伴侶...... 看著他們努力過新生活, 不禁為自己這數天來的自嘆自憐而感到慚愧~
我也要努力加油!!!

在豬媽的blog裡看到這篇感人的文章, 看得我鼻子酸酸的...... 沒法子, 就是這麼眼淺.......
Beautiful Lesson !!!!!!!! 
The girl in the picture is Katie Kirkpatrick, she is 21. Next to her, her fiancé, Nick, 23.
The picture was taken shortly before their wedding ceremony, held on January 11, 2005 in the US. Katie has terminal cancer and spend hours a day receiving medication. In the picture, Nick is waiting for her on one of the many sessions of chemo to end. 
In spite of all the pain, organ failures, and morphine shots, Katie is going along with her wedding and took care of every detail. The dress had to be adjusted a few times due to her constant weight loss. 
An unusual accessory at the party was the oxygen tube that k atie used throughout the ceremony and reception as well. The other couple in the picture are Nick's parents. Excited to see their son marrying his high school sweetheart.
At the reception, katie had to take a few rests. The pain did not allow her to stand for long periods.
Katie died five days after her wedding day. Watching a woman so ill and weak getting married and with a smile on her face makes us think.... Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it lasts.
We should stop making our lives complicated.
Life is short
Break the rules
forgive quickly
kiss passionately, love truly
laugh constantly
And never stop smiling
no matter how strange life is
Life is not always the party we expected to be
but as long as we are here, we should smile and be
grateful.
我最愛的是那一句: 'Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it lasts.' 生命實在有太多不可預知的事情發生, 為甚麼我們還要為許多瑣碎事而放棄那些觸手可及的快樂呢??
