櫐櫐仙桃
科內的資深醫師父親過世了，享壽 102 歲，今天下午與同事去他家裡致意。
他們家很大，中庭是一個花園；我們向靈位鞠躬後，行政部門的大人與資深醫師商討著治喪事宜，其餘則在先生娘陪同下，走到後院等待。
院裡有幾棵參天的大樹，清風徐徐吹來；其中有一株長滿了黃澄澄的仙桃，向來深具傳統婦德令人景仰的先生娘，用剛才哭過紅紅的雙眼，望著仙桃樹說：
”我家的仙桃真的很甜，比外面賣的還好吃。”
同事們讚美之餘，順口問到這棵樹種了幾年了？
”我嫁來他家就有了，我已經來這四十年了。”
在寒冬的午後，我站在群樹之間，見證著一位平凡而不凡的婦女，對夫家涓涓綿密的情感。
我盼望我也能有這樣的福分。

Dear Dr.
Nice web site and articles you have here. You must enjoy this very much. Please DO share this with more friends.
Been a doctor is something like been a mother. Been a teacher is something like been a father. You and I are playing one of these roles in the separated cities.
I believe you have played your role with heart and with love. Hope I am able to learn it from you.
Wish you all the best.

Dear Professor Mao,
Thank you for your warm support.
I don't know how to live without your company.
Merry Christmas!
