2010年的母親節
自從有了孩子,每年的母親節都是在家裡跟妻子和孩子們一同慶祝的,今年例外。。。
三月初,還在上海的時候,從妻子處收到母親摔跤進了醫院的消息。母親因為脊椎骨損壞,壓到神經,雙腿麻痺,又非常疼痛; 止疼藥吃多了,就頭暈,腳無力,兩次在衛生間摔跤,雖然頭上縫了幾針,身上的骨頭還好沒有一根破損,實在感恩!
小的時候,我喜歡到天台去放風箏,有時還會跟鄰近天台的小孩們鬥,看誰的風箏飛得高,飛得遠,有時兩個風箏相碰,便用力扯拽,要將對方風箏的線弄斷,每逢看到斷線的風箏,我們一票的小孩子就會在街上跑着去搶;我家在海旁,有時一陣大風刮來,斷線的風箏就會被吹到海浪的上空,慢慢地被帶走;那時的心情,已經記不清楚,只記得每次都是呆呆的站在那兒,直到風箏消失在無邊的天際裡。。。在外已經多年,不知道為什麼有時候還會感覺到自己好像一只斷線的風箏,隨風飄盪,從大洋的一邊,慢慢飄到另一邊。
倦鳥歸林,遊子思鄉;父親去世後,十多年來,總是找機會,找藉口,要回老家看望母親。母親一向個性爽朗、獨立,只愛助人,不求人助,自己生活,不靠兒女。這回倒下來,她實在沒法接受。三月中旬,我從深圳到香港,哥嫂已經比我早一天從美國飛到;看著母親在病榻上的煎熬,疼痛難支,我們卻愛莫能助,心中只有跟她一同疼著。為著要替她打打氣,也難得咱們兄弟和小妹五個人都在一起,在過去的四十年中,這才是第五次呢,於是決定為她提前慶祝生日;餐廳裡,雖然身體上的疼痛沒有減少,但母親的臉上還是流露出歡慰的笑容。第二天,哥嫂就飛走了,再過兩天,我也回多市了。
五月九號是今年的母親節。十八歲以前,不懂得有母親節,父親是海員,終年在外,從沒有人提醒我們要慶祝母親節;十八歲之後,我就沒有在母親節的時候回過老家。思前想後,終於決定再回港一趟,與母親共渡母親節。好不容易,從醫院替她請了兩天假;和妹妹推着輪椅,帶她回老人中心,又去教會做禮拜。能夠和多年的老朋友相聚,兩個月以來的辛酸疼苦,終於得到暢懷喧泄的機會。後來,一家人去吃晚飯,孫子孫媳婦也在,開心極了!席中,母親突然冒出一句:『今天,我很高興;我是等了九十多年的!』聽後,內心不禁有點黯然。。。希望再有機會與她共渡母親節。
回程中,飛機遇到氣流,我從睡夢中被震醒;向窗外俯瞰,飛機正在加拿大洛基山脈的上空,高山峻嶺,終年積雪,在耀眼的陽光下炯炯生輝,我遊目四處尋找,看看在幽暗的山谷中有否人煙之處;忽然發現機旁有一朵孤雲,正從我的來路飛來。凝視着,心中的萬般思緒,又被帶返母親在醫院的病榻前。幾天以來,一直聽到她的痛苦呻吟、責問,心中的不甘、憤怒、掘強、無奈。。。歷歷在目。臨走的前一個晚上,我握着她的手為她禱告,說了『阿門』,正要張開眼睛,覺得母親緊握着我的手不放,我以為她捨不得我離開,突然聽到她放聲禱告,求神保守我回家的路程,然後一個一個為我家裡的人提名祝福;母親常為我們禱告,我是知道的,這時緊握我的手,懇切陳詞。。。卻是第一次!說過『阿門』,我就讓她安心睡覺;趕快轉過身來,拖著弟弟和妹妹的手離開,因怕在她面前掉下眼淚。
第二天,帶著母親的祝福,我踏上了回加的歸程。這時的一片孤雲,像是告訴我:母親的眷愛、看護、叮嚀,是會不斷地追隨着我。我與母親,雖然身隔萬里,卻是心心相繫在主裡。

Mother’s Day 2010
I celebrated every single Mother’s Day with my wife and kids ever since I became a father, but this year was a different one!
While I was in Shanghai this March, Dorcas sent me news that my mom was sent to hospital. She lost strength and balance in the washroom due to an overdose of painkillers that was trying to relieve her pains that resulted from her deteriorating spine. She got several stitches on her head. Despite two falls, we thank the LORD that no bones were broken!
I love to fly kites on the rooftop with my neighboring kids when I was young. We were dying to see whose kite went highest and farthest, to an extent that we even cut each other’s kite down. Whenever a kite got broken, we ran after it to see who could get it. Since we lived by the sea, I can still remember many times I would stand frozen by the shore to watch a broken kite blown away towards the sea until it disappear from sight. ….many years later, I feel like myself as a broken kite: carried by the wind from one continent to another!
A Chinese proverb says “A wanderer longs to return home and a tired bird longs for his nest.” It is true for me in the past ten years since my dad passed away. I try my best to maximize the time to visit my mom in Hong Kong. My mom is an independent, easygoing and helpful lady never expecting people’s return or our help. Therefore she took her recent falls really hard. As we visited her at the hospital in March (my brother and his wife also came back from US), we were heartbroken and yet so helpless to see her suffering from such unbearable pain. In order to cheer her up and encourage her to move on, we five children decided to take her out for an early birthday celebration dinner. How precious is this moment! This is only the fifth time in the past 40 years that all her children could gather together! Although her pain was not lessening during the dinner, her face was brilliantly satisfied! My brother, his wife and I all flown away and returned home the next day.
May 9th was Mother’s Day this year. I never knew about Mother’s Day before I was 18 years old. My dad was a sailor and he was never home so nobody reminded us of celebrating Mother’s Day with her. After I left home at 18, I had never celebrated Mother’s Day with my mom! After much thoughts in April, I decided to go back Hong Kong once more in May to celebrate Mother’s Day with her. We took her out from hospital for 2 days. My sister pushed her in a wheelchair. We took her to senior center, church worship service and even take her to meet with her old friends! At a dinner time with all of us and her grandchildren together she was overjoyed! She suddenly said, “Today I am so joyful! I have been waiting for 90 plus years for tonight!” My heart sank at her words…..may God bless her so that we can celebrate Mother’s Day with her again!
On my return flight to Canada, the plane met a strong air current that woke me up from a deep sleep. As I watched the Rockies out of the window with dazzling white snow I wondered if there are any houses or villages. Suddenly I saw a single piece of cloud by my window! My mind flew back to my mother at her hospital bed of the past few days. She was crying and moaning, questioning and feeling helpless…..everything was still clear on my mind! The night before I left her, I held her hands to pray for her. As I said, “Amen” my mother’s hands wouldn’t let go of mine! I thought she did not want to see me go but she prayed out loud instead! She asked the Lord to protect my way home, and she blessed every person in my family by name! I know that my mom had always been praying for us, but it was the first time I heard her earnest prayers holding my hands. After she said “Amen” we let her sleep. I quickly took my brother and sister’s hands to leave as I was holding my tears!
I took my mother’s blessing as I returned home next day. This piece of cloud reminds me of my mother’s loving care and encouragement by my side. Though we are thousand miles apart, our hearts are joined together in the LORD!
