Sun Rise, Sun set

Is this the little boy I carried,  Is this the little boy at play (all by himself)?
Wasn't it yesterday when he was small?
Sun rise, sun set     Sun rise, sun set    Swiftly flies the years

I got a PPT of this old song days ago
I have deleted the other emails, but this one surely triggered my memory

What a rich (in mercy and grace) journey it is-- the past one and a half decade
I have become a wife (a lousy one, for sure) and a mom (a striving and struggling one, should be)

Being a wife
According to the principles of the Bible, I have never been married, for I have not left my biological parents.
I met my husband when I first graduated from the university in Taipei.
And for the next 6 more years was the closest physical distance between us.
Then I went to the States and when I returned to Taiwan, I returned home to live with my parents in Tainan.
I visited him in Taipei occasionally
When we got married, I remained to live and work in Tainan
John was born in Taipei (in Taiwan Univ. Hospital as his Dad appointed and requested)
But after the maternity leave was going to be over, I brought him down to Tainan
Then we started the journey between 2 cities almost every weekend
When John started to have the intervention program at 關渡 at the age of 4, I remained in Tainan
The journey between 2 cities was done by me only.
After 2 years of intervention, John came down to Tainan to enter the elementary school
The journey between 2 cities was carried again by the two of us, Mom and son.

In 1999, when John was born, his Dad was 56 years old
Now it's 2013, John turns 14 and his Dad is 70.

Thank you, 仁德文賢--As John is going to graduate from junior high

猶記得是林瀚國小4，5年級時  我就報名參加了ㄧ場在復興國中舉行的國小轉銜到國中的特教研習，負責的老師知道我的孩子還要2~3年才要唸國中，他覺得我未免參加得太早了!  我知道我也像自閉的孩子，需要預告，需要對未知先有預備    但隨著他逐年的成長，語言和認知逐漸與同齡的同儕拉近，情緒管控和人際技能的大罩門雖仍遠遠落後，但，我越來越放鬆，尤其是，很安心的知道他在一個溫暖的校園裡

3年前寒假，林瀚即將從國小畢業時，我先來仁德文賢拜訪鄭主任，又蒙她引導我見蔡校長，那個溫暖的拜訪讓我確定讓他在鄉下的小校就讀國中

進入國中的那個暑假  林瀚就惹了不少事  讓校長和老師們居間細心處理  又承蒙王主任主動提議讓他的兒子景允成為林瀚的學習夥伴，教師節&母親節我和我母親都蒙邀參加您們的奉茶活動   校長是林瀚的茶侶呢 

 

新的校長上任，還邀請林瀚參加學校教職員的陶藝研習  關心認識這小子

3年後，我們再面臨他的下一個學習的落腳處，輔導室郭老師三番兩次跟我聯繫處理他的事   讓我有  時間飛逝的喟嘆

離開的時候將到  在仁德文賢的6個學期已經走到第5學期的末了

我真的想讓各位知道  我們一家人何等感激您們用心的陪我們走這一段路

我深深感謝這個學校  您們給了我們3年的安心  這在特殊孩子的家庭是個極大的祝福 

去年秋天  我訂購一批書致贈貴校新開幕的圖書館  

每學期的IEP及班親會我幾乎未缺席   

除此之外  我未能對貴校表達我心深處的謝忱

僅在此  透過此函  跟各位致上  深深的感謝

僅盼望  林瀚這個小子  有一日能奮發自強  發揮上帝給他的gift (這週末我看著他的職涯性向測驗結果  空間ㄧ項他呈現的PR值是99  我很驚奇)

有一日  願他能讓這個溫暖的學校以他為榮  

謝謝您們在教育現場上展現的大愛   讓這個有點障礙的孩子  無大礙的度過5個學期   

同在教育現場的林瀚媽媽跟各位致敬

Two Cities

For the past 3 decades, I have been living in and traveling between 2 cities--Taipei and Tainan.

I was born and raised up and  is now living and working in Tainan.
Taipei is the city where I attended  the university and had my first job for 7 years and gave birth to my only child and where my husband has been living.

For the past 2 decades, I have lived and worked in Tainan and stayed at Taipei for the weekends.  I travel a lot between these 2 cities.  I had driven for some years, and I have taken planes, HSR, trains and buses.  First, I traveled alone, then traveled with my son, and now alone again.

Pray for my mom, will you

Being a teenager, John, my son sometimes called me 宗教沉迷者

However, when he heard in Tainan that his mom, in Taipei, had a bad stomachache.  He did not know what to do, but to ask the pastor to pray for Mom.

On December 7, I went to Taipei.  Probably out of the food I took in, I started to have an upset stomach.  The next day was Sunday, and I still felt awful.  So I rested in bed, not going to church.  John called me while I was taking a nap.  I told him that I did not feel well and was taking a rest.  And I hang up the phone.
Later, I took the bus to come down to Tainan.  After I hang up, some time later he called his Dad and showed great care and concern about me.  He told him that your mom was suffering from stomachache.  Later, Pastor Chen came to park his scooter, and John rushed over to beg the pastor to "pray for my mom, will you?  She is suffering from stomachache."

On the next day, when Pastor came to pick up his scooter, he asked John "is your mom feeling better now"
and in the next couple of days, when grandma attending the senior fellowship, Pastor asked her the same thing.

As this boy grew up, the lullaby I sang to him is "十字架"  and I brought him to church when he was big enough and could behave himself a little (when he was about 3, with very little language and strong dislike of anybody to touch him, he once slapped a pastor's wife when she tried to approach him. )

He is used to Mom's praying whenever I don't know what to do.  The spirit of praying has been into his life.
I believe this is more than good enough for a 宗教沉迷者mom to be at rest.

Thank you, Lord.
May you lead him on, through the valleys and hills of his life.
Be his shepherd, potter, farmer and God.

東方設計學院遊戲與設計科

林瀚已經國中三年級了，又到了一個渡口，接下來要往哪個學校去呢?

He's far from academic.  He has been putting up with school life for more than a decade.  When he first knew that he is 第一屆的12年國教生，he burst into tears.  "Isn't 9 years' nightmare school life long enough?" he complained, "Why do they make it 3 more years longer?"

In the winter break of early 2013, I was sitting in front of the computer, surfing the internet and wondering which school would be good for this young teenager to go?  Tainan Commercial School first came up to my mind.  They have the department of advertisement and design.  However, when I surfed their website, I saw the 跑馬燈message goes like this--本校學科要求嚴格  It's very true--they're one of the best vocational schools in Tainan area.  They have the best students, for sure.  And I imagine John surrounded by the most out-standing classmates.  It simply turned me down.  He definitely won't enjoy school that good.

Then, the name of 東方工專，came into my mind out of the blue.  When I was with 高苑，I once sub a part-time teacher's class at this school because this teacher gave birth in the middle of the semester.  And I was told that this school 美工科系很棒。 所以我就去搜尋東方工專，才發現已經易名為東方設計學院了。我想著，那他們還會保留五專部嗎?有些學校升格為學院或科大後就停招五專部了，我ㄧ查，五專部還在哪，而且竟然有ㄧ個科系  遊戲與設計   這簡直是  位林瀚量身設計的嘛
我太驚奇了  點進去  該系剛成立  連結只有2~3個網站  期中之ㄧ是LEGO  one of John's favorite websites

In the summer break of 2013, I further contacted the director of this dept.  They invited John and I to attend their 2-day orientation for the new students.  Even though John was still a 9th grader, graduation from junior high would be 1 year later, they still receive us.  When John and I attended this orientation, I found some packages of "Mindstorm" by Lego were there in the cabinet.  John had told me Lego's Mindstorm was his dream toy.  Another sign for me.

I am not quite sure if John could be accepted into this program of this school or not, but I strongly feel the guidance of the Lord has been with us.

Rest all my worries unto the fountain of many blessing.

祂必做我和林瀚引路的  直到死

一個有大樹&綠草如茵的"美"地

一個有大樹 & 綠草如茵的“美”地                   

1990年暑假我第一次搭飛機，到美國留學。農家出身的我，大學畢業後工作了七年，還須靠父母資助才得以踏上這趟留學之行。就學的OSU(俄亥俄州立大學)是一所歷史悠久的學校，校園裡不乏要數人合抱的大樹。我覺得美國真得很美，到處都是大樹和綠草如茵。經過兩個冰天雪地的冬天後，我拿到碩士學位，返台。

距離我第一次搭機赴美的20年後，2010年暑假我帶著在四歲時被鑑定為自閉症的瀚兒到美國，來看看媽媽驚艷的一個美麗的國度—有好多大樹和綠地的美國。

我們上路了，在芝加哥入境。長時間的飛行，加上飛機起落時他的耳朵劇痛，瀚兒想到還要再轉機就害怕。我們幾乎考慮要在芝加哥改搭路運交通繼續未竟行程，但最後還是忐忑的再登機。       (照片1)

瀚兒最愛塗鴉了，最後一段航程可以畫的紙已經用盡了，就向機上服務人員要了一些餐巾紙來畫，他畫著一把長劍穿過他自己的頭，顯示他真得非常不舒適，不快樂。                    (照片2)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

對高頻聲音敏感的瀚兒在觀看國慶(Independence Day)煙火時，雙手壓著耳朵，嘴裡埋怨說：「煙火太吵了！」         (照片3)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

但是，當他站到大樹前，躺在綠草如茵的草地上時，瀚兒完全贊同媽媽對美國這地的描繪—好「美」的一個國家喔！       (照片4)

我的早安朋友

我其實不認識他們，稱他們是朋友是因為想到他們，我在心情上覺得很親切。
我只有在清早時才會與他們相遇，所以我稱呼他們是我的早安朋友，他們當中有些人我其實從未打過招呼呢!

我通常在中洲站的第一班火車發出的時刻出發，5:40第一班北上火車，如果我拖延到了5:50，第一班南下的火車時刻，拖到這時候才出發就表示要趕路了。因為從家裡騎鐵馬到位於台南南區大同路2段的教會，12公里左右需要35分鐘左右。

ㄧ騎離開我住的中洲中生村，就是2公里的田野，然後進入保安村。市場上的貨車和攤位正在忙著卸貨和擺攤，市場對面，街道轉彎處的早餐店老闆正在忙著預備餐點，有一個中年老顧客一定坐在靠近入口的最旁邊跟她聊著天，等老闆準備工作就緒。再3公里外的十三甲路旁也有ㄧ家早餐店，但騎到這裡時，通常固定的顧客會坐在固定的位置上，但他們都已經ㄧ邊吃著食物一邊在聊著。有ㄧ個老兵模樣七八十歲的老人會推著坐在嬰兒車上他的孫子(曾孫??)。冬天的清晨，嬰孩裹著厚衣，露出紅咚咚的臉頰。

通常在仁德糖廠十鼓文化園區奇美博物館附近，我會被ㄧ部摩托車超車。他們是一對五六十歲的女工，正要去工地上工。她們超越我時會幫我加油打氣說，好厲害，已經騎到這裡了。有時候我晚ㄧ點離開家時，也可能只在我家的村莊外就被她們超越過了。

過了糖廠後，有ㄧ條我的私房鐵馬祕徑，在我有準時出發，不趕路的情況下我總犒賞自己騎入這一條 path less taken的祕徑。繞過一個正在晨光中慢慢醒來的新社區，騎過顛頗的無人無柵欄的小小平交道，就進入了ㄧ片很不小的樹林，有苦楝樹和一些雜木，樹林裡只有一條小徑，固定會有ㄧ對老夫老妻和兩個老婦人在晨光灑下的綠徑上散著步。我們都會互道著早安，但有ㄧ個老先生可能和我媽媽ㄧ樣重聽得很，他從未回答過我的道安，當然，我還都是ㄧ樣的跟他道聲早。

過了祕徑底的亞航社區，在經過這個大多了的，較不顛頗的平交道到了牛稠仔。轉角上是ㄧ家專門做學校營養午餐的中央廚房，撲鼻而來的香氣四溢，我都想像著今天林瀚的午餐會有什麼菜色，廚房外有ㄧ個廚工經常把地上刷洗得好乾淨，垃圾母子車邊有ㄧ兩個老人正在撿拾著可以賣的回收資源。

然後，在牛稠仔段的省道上有ㄧ個30來歲的大壯丁會正在跟他50來歲的母親在削著地瓜，先是把皮削掉，然後再切成像鹹酥雞攤上的地瓜條一樣的長條狀。地瓜很硬，即使是壯丁的年輕人也要很費力。他總在一張凳子上工作，削下來的地瓜皮很集中，他很專注。

快接近生產路十左邊會有ㄧ部小貨車，賣大腸麵線。老闆說他通常4點起常來煮麵線，冬天水開得慢，他就要更早ㄧ點起來才來得及在6點前到省道要出台南的地段，空軍基地圍牆邊，做生意。沒人來買時短小精壯的老闆就在人行道上慢跑或做起體操。我通常在省道的這一邊跟在另一邊運動的老闆舉手打招呼。

在靠近鐵道的這一邊本來還住了ㄧ個特別的大孩子，二三十歲，應該是智能較不足，但也更顯得單純天真。我們固定要打招呼的，有一次我家裡的玉蘭花開了，我送給他數朵，他很開心，直嚷著要給妹妹。但隔幾天在要給他玉蘭花時，他就搖頭說，不可以拿別人的東西。但我們都會打個招呼的，後來就看到他的右手臂上了石膏，可能出了意外。然後，就大門深閉，清早不見他出來。有一次我忍不住問在馬路對面賣麵線的老闆，他說他們ㄧ家搬走了，因為鐵路要地下化，他們這幾棟房子被徵收了，他們搬走了。

到了亞伯飯店前的公車站牌我還有3個早安朋友在等頭班公車，他們明顯的互不認識，家齊女中的長腿姑娘手中還握著書，一個50來歲的男子看著報，30來歲的男子帶著耳機。如果我騎到這裡時這3人已經不在，那就表示頭班公車已經過了，我也趕不上教會6:20開始的讀經禱告了。

離開教會後我有時會騎往體育公園，晨間運動及買菜的人很熱鬧。有ㄧ個老先生80多歲了，他開了ㄧ部拼裝車載著他種的菜在角落的路旁賣菜，生意不錯，但他常跟我埋怨他全身痠痛。他的妻子已辭世多年，他的長子也過世，另一個孩子又離婚了。他很有愁苦，經常點一根菸抽著。我說，我來幫你禱告，他很歡喜。2013年春天，他甚至送給我ㄧ些菜的種籽和肥料讓我帶三丁的孩子們在快樂農場種菜。我帶三丁孩子作的泡菜也是跟他買的半顆高麗菜。

這些都是我的早安朋友們，早安，我認識&不認識的朋友們!

Getting married at the age of 20

My nephew, Kola, is getting married.

People get married every minute in the world, so I suppose it's nothing too special.

But it's still a very big deal in my family.

Kola is special.  First of all, his parents are from Nigeria and Taiwan.  They met and got married and raised their 2 sons in the States.  And now Kola is going to marry Olivia, a lady from Tamsui, Taiwan.  The wedding will be here in Tamsui, Taiwan.  Kola's father has flown from Nigeria to attend this wedding, his mother from Connecticut and his brother from Ohio (the state where I studies 20 years ago and where my cousin works now).So this is a very international business.

Kola is special also for he's only 20 years and 4 months old.
Kola turned 20 in the past August and he got married on December 14.
.
Some family members have had mixed feelings about this.

People, including me, have doubts about whether getting married at age 20 is too young.  Kola graduated from high school 2 summers ago and he decided to first came to Taiwan to attend a Bible program with Youth With A Mission.  He met Olivia, his new-wed wife, at the program in Taiwan, who is a native of Tamsui, Taipei, Taiwan.  They were engaged on Kola's 20th birthday and got married 4 months later.

As it turned out, the wedding and the reception was  very warm and joyful.  Kola's parents and brother and Kola himself had given mini speeches at the reception.  Very nice talks, touching and full of feelings.  Ola, the father, proposed a silence in the very beginning to remember my deceased Dad.  He then mentioned and thanked each one of my family, Mom, me and the youngest sister, brother-in-law and even Christina (my friend) and Nelson (my student). Ola remembered and mentioned the most exact details--Fuji's handkerchief, Nelson's fried eggs...)And lastly, he thanked the groom's mom, his wife, my elder sister--a magical woman who always brings out the best in each person.  He said his parents came to visit them only once in Connecticut decades ago, but now they still cherish the sweet memories of the time spent with her, the daughter-in-law.  The speech was full of genuine gratitude.  Jennifer (groom's wife) recalled the year of 1999, when the Y2K bug was an issue and Kola, then only 6, was concerned if the bug would attack them, he asked his brother in the back seat.  And now the mom was amazed that this 6-year-old innocent boy was getting married.  She opened and ended up the speech with the same expression--"I love you, Kola!"  It was a little longer than what she intended to make it as Kola demanded--2 minutes.  A great mini speech.  And then Arthur, the big brother, who has been the groom's best brother in life.  Arthur said they learned to do many things when they were young--football throw, skateboard...But now it came to a time the big brother has nothing to offer this younger brother---getting into married, since Arthur, 4 and a half years older, is still single.  Kola said his parents, both being the first generation in the States, worked very hard and which had set a great example for him.

Kola has made a video clip entitled "I love you" with photos of him and Olivia for the past 2 years.  He even composed a song and sang the song.  People from YWAM sang a song for Olivia to Kola "You're the best decision I made".  Both songs were beautiful, for the rich love there.  Olivia was crafted and she decorated the hall and the tables with great paper art works.

Relatives from both the bride and groom's families are not many, but the church was full and the reception was a full house event, too.  Because their other family --YWAM, is big.  I was told that there are about 150 in YWAM, Taipei.  It is a big family of God and they have organized a great wedding and reception.  I feel so amazed and full of fear and gratitude to the good Lord for all YWAM has done.  Kola's home is far, but God has prepared a most wonderful family for Kola and Olivia right here in Taiwan.

Arthur returned to his work the next day after the wedding.  Ola and Jennifer will fly back to Africa and America 2 days later.

The wedding and the reception is over.  But God's glory stays bright.  May it warm and bright up each one of us who managed to be there.

明天，瀚兒要出發國中畢業旅行了

相較於國小的6年，國中只有3年是短多了
剛入國中那年暑假  多事之秋 轟轟烈烈  他讓多人學期未正式開始就被請到校長室寫悔過書
同學放話要在放學時修理他  他在學校3樓揚言要跳樓自殺     數學及其他學科學習每況愈下   他憂鬱敏感   平均每學期就醫身心科一次

但這2年多來  他開始很清晰準確的表達 &展現他的自己   他也開始小小大大的獨自旅行

獨立  反對  酷酷的怒目相瞪  這些青春期孩子常有的表現  他也都到位了
當媽媽的我  心裡真有深深的感恩和敬畏

這是恩典的Pass-over
越過我的諸多漏洞和錯誤   他畢竟持續成長著   沒長得差誤太多

持續仰望  

仰--望  如過往的這11 or 14年

我討厭比賽 但感謝神 今年賞了個特優

In December of 2011, great to my surprise, we got 國小B組特優
In December of 2012, I was the homeroom teacher
This year in December of 2013, we were granted 國小A組特優

But I really don't think we are that good at all.

However, the students have performed their best and the teachers have done our best, too
I guess this is the meaning of it

At the very beginning of the new semester, I told Cherry that I was interested in writing the script, but was not so good at training the students.  She took it into her heart.
So I had put more effort into editing the RT script.

I had not missed any of the training sessions, but had felt great depressed and broke into great yelling at one of the students at the 2nd last training session.

Cherry hanged on till the last minute, thank God.

I was very impressed with the cooperation and team work spirit we have formed with the 3 English teachers, Hanni, Cherry and me.

I dislike competition, but thank God for this great honor and prize.

附小不是我每天上班的第一站

我騎腳踏車上班  單程10多公里  一段時日了
感謝神  在黑暗轉光明的清晨迎風出發  是很讓 靈魂甦醒的祝福

我不甚愛工作  學校能夠不成為第1站  很讓我歡欣  what a shame and what a blessing!

Church is usually my first stop
I stay for around an hour (6:20~7:10) for reading the Bible (1 chapter daily) and some praying
At the end of this past summer vacation, we read JOSHUA, which gave me strength to face the new semester
Then, it was the dark JUDGES, and then 1 SAMUEL, and now 2 SAMUEL.
Today (Dec. 10, 2013) we read Chapter 9

DAVID ASKED, " Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan's sake?"......So David found Mephibosheth.  And David made Mephibosheth lived in jerusalem, and always ate at the king's table.  Mephibosheth was crippled in both feet.

I couldn't help but was so touched and tears kept falling down my cheeks all the praying time

I left church earlier, minutes before 7:00 and paddled all the way to the 2nd stop -- the University Hospital, to share this Bible passage with 杜師母   她正在住院  置換人工膝關節  她的2膝都要置換   she is also crippled in both feet

And I have been crippled for a long time, too

This passage of David and Mephibosheth is so true and real to me
Thank God that He has sent Jesus to find me and has shown such abundant merciful kindness toward me for Jesus's sake

Sometimes, my 2nd stop will be 鄭永和安養中心  去看玉治阿姨(中洲教會婦女團契一個姊妹的母親)
At times, she is not awake when I get to her bed.   But she would always open wide her eyes with great eager at my first song note
If she is awake, I always greet her as  至好朋友就是... and she would always utter with great effort 耶穌
I usually sing about 4 songs and leave for work

Then, I will enter school (my work site) with great contentment.

I simply dislike to get to school directly from home.

在別人的需要上看到自己的責任(天使遇見天使)

美瑩的馬桶椅壞了   汰舊換新   就換個新的吧
在我們尋常的一件小事裡  換到罹患類風濕關節炎40年的美瑩  卻是一個tremendous blessing in disguise

南大特教系曾怡惇教授告訴我  他們系上有位曾明基教授
I then sent an email to him

曾教授  教安

我是附小的英語老師陳淑芬

我有一好友  她十多歲就罹患類風濕關節炎  40年下來她的手腳關節都已嚴重變形

目前  她因使用多年的馬桶椅損壞  需添購一個新的馬桶椅時遭遇極大困難

她的家人已經跑過數家大的醫療用品店  發現現在市面上的產品都不適合

有些是座椅或扶手的高度   或深度   或軟墊的因素

導致她的手或elbow  無法用上力  無法使用

替換了數次後  她也上網查了資料  

但仍無法找到合適她特殊的身體狀況的產品

我結識她多年  深知道她的生活的艱辛  甚至牙刷都要經過改造才能適合她用

前一陣子她換個床墊又是一番大折騰   但都解決了

只是這次的馬桶椅  真的是更大的折騰後  還是找不到

我突然想到貴校特教系輔助科技所   請教了我認識的曾怡惇教授   知道了您的名字

冒昧給您 this email

If it is OK with you, I hope I could get over to your office to present to you the information of my friend's problem.  Maybe you could give her (us) some names of the factories or producers or researchers that might be able to help.

Thank you very much for the trouble. 

 I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. 

Days later, I got the  reply:

淑芬老師好

因近日較忙 有兩日於台北

現才覆信  敬請見諒

來信已轉寄研究生Mr. Chen 09-------（職能治療師）

他的回覆請參閱下文

很有見解又有與廠商合作之實作經驗

他說您可直接與其聯繫較佳 問題點比較容易釐清並解決

若我可在場則再好不過  請順便告知我時間地點等 

若時間允許 將出席之

祝福您與朋友

Mr. Chen's email

曾老師
你轉寄的信件主角不知是否住在台灣？如果住台灣，我想要做特製輔具應該不是太難的事，一般我合作的廠商大概都可以配合。但如果住國外，可能就真的很難了。
如廁輔具在台灣叫做如廁椅或便盆椅，材質不外呼都是鋁或不鏽鋼，頂多包覆一些泡棉其他的設計都大同小異。此外可調整的地方很少，我只找到高低可調的，並沒有找到扶手高低可調的設計，因此我想如果信中的個案是關節炎合併關節或是肢體變形，那麼市售的肯定是不能用，我覺得比較迅速的方式是利用市售的去改造
座墊形狀材質重新設計，這個部分其實請做機車座墊的廠商就可以了，在台南市公園路就有三家廠商，開山路也有一家。
扶手高度修改也可以改成可調整式的，這部分則可以參考助行器的高度調整設計來修改，我認識的復健器材廠商可以提供這樣的修改。
不過改造的費用並不包含在輔具補助項目中，這一點必須要特別注意。
以上意見不知道是否有有用？

Being humble is one character of angels, I believe.

These 2 male angels' gentle and kind and willing and instant help have amazed me so

My reply to them is

感謝您們  

我的朋友叫李美瑩   家住安平區  台南市政府附近

她的電郵在收件人欄位上的第2位

相信她會訊速與您們聯絡

我感覺到  這對她會像是今年寒冬裡溫馨的聖誕節禮物喔

衷心感激兩位天使的協助

哇  

我今晚一定會列著嘴入睡的  (Please do pardon me for my excitement)

Today's date is Dec. 10,2013

2 weeks before Christmas Eve

Today's first page news of United Daily News is 

年度代表字  唉! 是 "假"

(遙遙領先第2名的 "黑")

也是歷屆票數最高  差距最大的冠軍

But, this incident of 在別人的需要上看到自己的責任(天使遇見天使)

is so real

Angels are so real in our life

Praise the Lord!

And the below is 美瑩的reply

親愛的朋友 : 平安

我是陳老師提到的李美瑩

謝謝你們熱情的相助

每一次我又出現需要汰舊換新，

總是宛如要進入長期抗戰

沒有一次是去到店家立刻就買得到的

也許是這樣才叫 < 弱勢 > 吧

殘，也許是天生也許是意外造成

但，障卻大都是環境帶來的

不過所謂 : 生命總會找到出口

只要心靈不被囚禁，每個殘者都會竭力找到突破障的管道

像你們這麼熱情的相助，就是我們突破障礙管道

你們就是我們的天使

除了天使的相助之外

我也感謝神賜給我及時的小聰明

讓我可以找到科技或專業之外的克服之道

讓我的日子可以繼續開心的過下去

像這個月沒有便盆椅可使用，

我也找到可以如廁的 < 妙招 >

雖然比較吃力，但我定意要開心過日子的決心沒有被打折

當然我還是十分謝謝你們給我提議，我會試著去進行

若你們想要來探訪我，我也很歡迎喔

只要先打個電話 06-29-----

我一定在家的喔。

再次謝謝你們。

願慈愛的上帝加倍的賜福你們。

李美瑩

ㄧ定會在家的美瑩(因她根夲出不了門)定意要開心過日子
Wow, Bravo to this little giant!
