Dad
"It's never too late to have a happy childhood," some bumper-sticker author said. I think it is never too late to need Dad.
When we're little, Daddy is in charge of the world, as we know it. Yes, I know we have a President, some countries have kings or prime ministers, and there's always God, but they are really not in charge of the world.
Dad knows everything, he can do anything, he is always right, he can always fix things. He's almost like God.
"Hey, Daddy! Where is Helsinki?" My father always replied, "If you put things away where they belong, you would know where they are." "Hey, Daddy! I really need to know about Helsinki." "OK; let's get the encyclopedia."
"Hey, Dad! Can I use the car for a date tonight?" "Yeah. Be home before midnight." Arriving home at 2:30 a.m., Dad was up waiting. We don't understand about love and anger when we're kids. Dads yell and shout, and we don't realize it is because they care; we think it is because they have to be tough. Not this time. He said, "Thank God you're safe. Go to bed; we'll talk about this in the morning."
"Hey, Dad! I got into trouble at school today. I didn't really do anything wrong. That stupid teacher won't listen to me." "I'll listen. What happened?....Is that really what happened?" Next day, Dad is at my school, talking with my teacher, fixing the misunderstanding. He has such power! I can always count on Dad.
When Daddy starts to get old ***about the same time as I am 13 years old***, he gets really stupid, but he is still in charge of the world. "Hey, Daddy! What's this with boys? Do you know why they are so weird? Were you like this when you were a boy?" Dad pontificates for awhile on the nature of the teen-age human animal and I sort of get the hint that even though he is old ***35***, he knows about both boys and girls. Some dads even know about such matters as safe sex and child support.
Regardless of what they know ***or don't know***, they mostly care, and can be counted on to be on your side. When you're a kid, Dads are good for playing basketball in the driveway;Daddies are good audiences for dance recitals.
If we get our foot caught in a bear trap, Dad will free the foot, bind it, and take us to the doctor. Dad doesn't panic; he, being Dad, just automatically knows what to do, and does it.He buries our non-human family members; he fixes the things we break. The small things Dad does for us make us feel valuable and important.
Daddy lectures and pontificates; he is the ultimate authority on everything. He is so totally boring - I hope he doesn't act like such a jerk in front of my friends. If he talks too much, they also will know how stupid he is. Of course, even though he is ***during some periods of my life*** an utterly stupid nerd, he is not fair game for criticism from others. He is still the best dad there is...
"Hey, Dad! How are you going to vote?" "Not me. I think he's a crook." So argument ensues...Dad is still stupid, but getting a little smarter, and we can listen to him without acknowledging his wisdom.
"Hey, Daddy! Wanna hold the baby for awhile?" Daddy assures his "princess" that her baby is truly a marvel, and "Princess" feels warm and reassured.
"Hey,Dad!Do you have fifty bucks I could borrow?"He does.Even if he doesn't,he will find it or go without something so he will have it.Then he feels embarrassed when we pay him back,and he says,"Naw;you don't have to pay it,"but we do because it is important to do the right thing. Dad taught us that.
Whether Dad is a brain surgeon or a gandy dancer, Dad is always there for us. The back-up unit in case of temporary failure. Even when Dad is 80 and maybe forgets sometimes or maybe has little "accidents," he is still in charge of my world. Even when Daddy needs for us to take care of him, he is still Daddy who knows all and who can do everything.
Whether Dad is a rocket scientist or a janitor, he sweat bullets to take care of us, to teach us what is right, and to make sure we had some fun. Dad taught us the true meaning of respect and how to earn it. No matter what career choice we make, Dad will be proud of us. He will do his best to make sure we have the education and/or training we need in order to be able to take care of ourselves and our burgeoning families.
Eventually, Dad goes on, as all living creatures do. It is a loss that is unutterably cruel. It is frightening to envision life without Dad. Even Dads need Dads. The fact that one is 50 or so years old does nothing to diminish the need for Dad.
We can recall sitting in the bleachers at the ball game with Dad - a bonding thing that gruffly says "I love you." Upon achieving majority, we could even have a beer with Dad. We can recall being walloped by Dad and know that it was an act of love. We cherish the time spent with Dad while he taught us the necessary maintenance tasks associated with car ownership. We still capture the feeling that came over us when we saw Dad's face out there in the audience, and he was proud, and he and Mom knew they had created something very special when they made us.
Dad presides over all festive events. "How is today different from other days?" Of course he knows, and knows how to explain; it is he who takes charge and knows how to do everything;he is the leader, and he is in charge of our world. The Captain of the ocean sea.
Father's Day is kind of an embarrassment to Dad - he is accustomed to being the provider;not the recipient. We honor Dad for being in charge of the world, but Dad somehow is a bit diffident about being the honoree on Father's Day.
Dads don't really leave us when they go.Their spirits inhabit our psyche, and stay with us always.Fortunately,the parting is usually gradual, and sometimes, as when they need our care,we have an opportunity to show our gratitude and our love directly to him.Being aware that it will happen"some day"does not really anesthetize us against the actuality of the event.Emotions cannot be intellectualized, and pain is pain. It is okay to feel pain - to hurt. It is okay to heal, which we always do. It is also okay to become the Dad who knows everything, can do everything, and who is in charge of the world.

Being in Love
Love starts as an attraction to another. Love grows with mutual respect. Love thrives on confidence and dignity. Love survives on wisdom and honor.
愛萌芽,源於彼此吸引.愛生長,源於相互尊重.愛開花,基於自信\尊貴.愛永生,歸於高尚.
New love, stirs the emotions, moves the soul and fires the blood setting hearts aflame. Love of a mate provides us with another soul to feel kinship, with someone to share life with,someone to be loved, in spite of shortcomings and human frailties. someone with which we can share meaningful conversation, and plans for the future. Someone to recall the past with,to dream with. Someone with whom silence is comfortable. Another soul on the earth who is in tune with yours. someone who cares deeply about your well being and who in turn is cared for by you... just as deeply.
新歡,挑動激情,感動靈魂,升騰熱血點燃心靈.對配偶的愛讓我們擁有惡劣另一個可以感受親情的靈魂;可以共渡今生;可以去愛而不去計較缺點和不足;可以一同分享有意義的談話, 一同勾畫明天,一同回憶過去, 一同夢想未來.同愛人在一起,就是沉默也令人愜意.愛也讓我們擁有了另一個在世間與你合拍的靈魂.她深深牽掛著你的健康,而你也為此牽掛著她...都是同樣的深.
someone whose happiness means as much, if not more than your own. someone to place your trust in without fear of betrayal. not having to worry when you are apart, because you are secure in the knowledge that they will honor the love you share. Someone to hopefully grow old beside, to share the winter of life with, while recalling the summer of your dreams.
她的快樂與你的快樂相比,其中的意義有過之而無不及.她讓你堅信對愛至死不渝,就算別離之際也無際也無須掛慮,因為對愛得到尊重你們滿懷信心,她讓你有望白頭偕老,懷著對夢想中夏日的追憶,一同走過生命的冬季.
Lover is someone who, with a look, can touch your heart, ease your mind and bring comfort to your soul. Someone whose voice is music to your ear. Someone who by just entering a room makes your heart soar and joy fill your being, makes you want to touch them, be close to them. Who cant run your blood to molten fire with desire, their presence being food for your soul. Someone for whom your love grows stronger not weaker with the passing years.someone who is willing to talk out problems and share concerns, not look for an easy way out if all does not go just as expected. Someone to share all things with: tenderness,passion, warmth, dreams and desire, laughter and tears but mostly life's journey. A casually dropped piece of clothing can bring your love to mind as the scent of them clings, and turns your thoughts to love, as pleasant memories collect to be reviewed at leisure.
所謂心上人,便是隻看一眼就能打動你的心,舒暢你的情,給你的靈魂帶來安慰.她的聲音對你總是那樣動聽.她只要一進房門就會讓你的心飛翔.她能用慾火將你的熱血化作耀眼的火焰,她的存在是你的精神食糧.她與你之間的愛情隨著時光流逝只會更深而不會淺.她只願與你分憂解難,而不會因為任何困難而草草了結.她願意與你同甘共苦,她可以與你共渡難關.她與你分享的可以包羅永珍;溫柔\激情\親熱\夢想和渴望\歡笑與淚光,而多半是人生的景象.她隨意脫下衣服都能讓你回味起愛情,就好象她的芬芳在衣上匯聚,勾起了你對愛的追憶,就好象閒暇間拾起美好的記憶要來細心斟酌.
Love of a partner requires long-term commitment and wisdom and above all, work from both partners to nourish and nurture that love into a living growing thing. Without nourishment, all things die, even love.
愛一個人不僅要長久的承諾和智慧,更需要要彼此不且的努力,要把這份愛培育和呵護為一個充滿生機而不斷髮展的個體.沒有滋潤,萬物及亡,愛也不例外.
Do not easily discard love, for the day may come when love, in turn, discards you. Place a high value in this the most precious of life's joys. Some never find this treasure, many find and lose it through no fault of their own. Some discard it lightly as if it were of little value and easily replaced. The ability to love and be loved is the mosrt precious of girfts given to man, and as such should be hightly treasured.
不要輕易放棄你的愛,否則有朝一日也會這樣放棄你.要珍惜這一生命中最寶貴的樂趣.有人一生從未找到這種財富.但更多的人是找到了,又失去了,儘管這不是他們的錯.還有人將它輕易放棄,就好象它毫無意義,可以隨意代替.愛和被愛的能力是上蒼給予人類的最珍貴禮物,我們應該好好珍惜.
