您的背影


打完球回家的路上,腳步是疲憊的,頭腦也不大清醒。

路上看到一個熟悉的背影,但我心裏明白,
那時那刻您不會出現在那地方。

一眼兩眼三眼,目光還是不想轉走,直到
那背影的主人回過頭來。因為
我不想知道她不是您,
我想留住您的背影,
在我的心中。

如果沒變

如果有一天
by 梁靜茹
如果我們都沒有變,我相信我們是最適合的人,我們一起長大,一起度過人生每個最重要的關卡,然後我們會被祝福,再一起攜手度過未來的人生,然後我會告訴別人,這個世界還是有童話。  --- <<再見,初戀男友>> by 女王

可惜,"如果"這種果實不在凡間結果,它只在虛無飄渺中開花。

烈火雄心

Justin提到明報在報導嘉禾大廈大火兩個消防員殉職時引了Ladder 49的對白,那句話出自主角之一的Captain Mike Kennedy (John Travolta飾)在另一主角Jack Morrison (Joaquin Phoenix飾)的喪禮上的悼辭。

It's never an easy thing, saying goodbye to a brother firefighter, it's not. And this time, particularly is difficult for me because I watched Jack grow into a, well, into one of the finest firefighters I've ever known. He joined this department because he wanted to help people, who knows how many homes are still standing because Jack was there or how many lives were spared. He gave his life for that cause. We'll never forget you Jack. And we're better for having known you. But I make you this one promise, tomorrow when that bell rings, we will be back on the truck, because you were the bravest of the brave. People are always asking me, how is it that firefighters run into a burning building when everyone else is running out? Well, Jack, you answered that question by saving another man's life. Your courage is the answer. And today we will be as brave as you, by not mourning you, but by celebrating your life. So I'd like everyone to stand up and celebrate the life of Jack Morrison.
戲如人生,人生如戲。這齣現實中的戲,沒有明星擔綱,有的只是兩位消防員用生命換來的耀眼花火。

值得歌頌的不是他們的犧牲,而是在所有人都向外慌忙逃命時,他們卻往裏面衝的那份勇氣。

Requiescat in pace.

至死不渝



4月21日,爺爺走了。

8月2日,嫲嫲也走了。



他們攜手過了銀婚、金婚,現在,在差不多的時間,一起走了,不用再受歲月摧殘、病魔折磨,做子孫的,應該開心吧?



看著兩個日期,突然發現



4x2=8

2x1=2



理性告訴我,那只是無聊的巧合。

但我寧願相信那是一種至死不渝的緣份。



爺爺嫲嫲,謝謝您們的好榜樣。

如果人真的有來生有下世的話,請再讓我做你們的孫兒吧。
