Once
upon
a
time,
there
was
a
child.
He
was
small,
he
was
not
in
good
health,
he
always
needed
company
of
his
brother,
and
friends,
and
he
sometimes
got
to
feel
really,
really
bored.
Then there was
Maki, even at three years old, who later wrote Kanji for Wei on
his 25th birthday cake, and who eventually became part of his
life, and part of our family, and with whom, we celebrated their
marriage, on this August the eleventh, two thousand and two, with
her parents from Japan, and with us all.
Then, pictures taken on
the boat that evening, with Maki's parents from Japan, and
guest from around the States, estimated to be
90.

他曾经很小,很赢弱,需要佑护,需要看顾,还不时觉得很孤独。
然后,有了麻纪子,她会写汉字给庄伟祝生日,并终于成了我们家庭的一员。。勤劳勤快、吃苦耐劳,两个民族的好品德好品质她都有了。我们今天和你的父母,及众多的亲友们为你们祝福。
这是船上婚礼、晚宴,和来宾们的照片。
这是丽卿给亲友们的一封信。
回娘家

Birthday wishes for our children
Blessed were you, by God, and by us.
Wished that you would sleep all night,
Wished that you could walk by yourself,
Wished that you could join us in the US.
Still wishing. . .

给孩子的生日祝愿
既是天地呵护,也是父母苦心。
曾盼望你一夜睡到天亮,
曾盼望你快点自己会走,
曾盼望你早日来美。
仍在盼望。 |
Wei and his cousin
(The text below is printed
with the photo above, in celebration of Wei's 25th birthday.)
This is
certainly not
your best
picture of
the year.
You do
not look
great, or
strong, or
ready to
stand on
your own
feet. But
like life,
like always,
there are
plenty of
smiles, of
trust and
love, and
of longing
and hope.
And we
thank God
for
your cousin, and
whoever has
helped us,
and thank
God for
you and
for Maki.
Happy 25th
birthday!

小庄伟和大表姐
(下文针对图二照片而写,写于庄伟二十五岁生日)
这是一张值得纪念的照片。你虽然不强壮,不潇洒,不春风得意,却照样有梦想有追求,照样有人疼,照样长大了。想想走过来的艰辛,看看今天的你,我们感谢上天,感谢一切给过我们关怀和帮助的亲人朋友们。二十五岁,从此,你成年了,虽然汽车保险费可以降低些,你的担子会慢慢地重起来。祝福你,孩子,生日愉快! |
