最後的EMAIL 在加拿大讀大學有機會到一間護老院的活動部, 跟院內的公公婆婆攪活動做實習. 我和不少老人家做左好朋友 , 其中一個是BESSIE. 回港後好幾年都有和好幾位婆婆保時聯絡, 而我和BESSIE的家人也很好朋友, 結婚那年回REGINA都去探BESSIE的女兒們...... WELL, 因BESSIE當年已回天家了. 前幾天, 收到MARION, BESSIE其中一個女兒的EMAIL: Dear Sindy, Parky, Beatrice & Nathan: Thank you for your Christmas letter with pictures. How special.. We didn't send out Christmas letters and cards this past year because of ill health. I just wanted to let you know what has been going on since last we communicated, and to let you know that this will probably be the last e-mail I will be sending you. I believe that I had mentioned in last year's letter that George had a 6-bypass heart operation. Also that I was waiting to have tests to confirm the extent of my lung cancer. It was confirmed in January that they were unable to operate to remove the lung tumor as the cancer had already spread to the lymph nodes. Then in July, George had to have major surgery again - this time he had an 8 inch abdominal aneurism, which is much more difficult and dangerous than his bypass surgery was. He got infection in his incisions and was in hospital for a month. One week after he was discharged from hospital (with Home Care having to come in on a regular basis to tend to his incision) - - I had a seizure while working on the computer and was taken to hospital where I was for nearly a month. They found that my cancer had spread to my brain. I had surgery to remove one of the tumors, and now I have had radiation on my brain and am now having chemo. Prognosis is not all that great, but I just wanted to thank you for keeping in touch with us by e-mail, and coming to visit us when you were in Regina. If we don't see you again on earth, we'll see you in heaven . God Bless you and your family! Love from Marion 有誰會知道自己SEND的會是最後的EMAIL呢? 不太懂得如何形容自已的的心情, 無論如何, 不管她收不收到, 我也SEND 了個最後的EMAIL給MARION, 告訴她我對她的掛念和愛.... SEE YOU MARION.... SOMEDAY IN HEAVEN... WITH JESUS, WITH BESSIE.... FOR SURE.... |
