很有感覺,對吧?

哈哈,又老了一歲了...
我是不過生日的,不過今年的生日有一點不一樣,因為這是我有了兒子之後的第一個生日。原本這個生日也沒有什麼特別,不過因為我做了一件很特別的事,所以應該記下來,免得忘了。
不過事實上這件特別的事並不是在今年生日時做的,而是在去年某人過生日時。話說當天很多人幫那位壽星過生日,我聽著大家要求壽星許願,突然有感而發...
「我明年的生日願望就是,我的兒子趕快娶老婆。」
當時的Samuel才剛滿月沒多久。因此在旁邊聽到的人反應就是:「你會不會想太多了?」
所以我老婆在我生日時問我:「你有什麼願望?--除了希望Samuel趕快娶老婆之外?」
我想,會這麼早許這種願望的爸爸應該不多,也許我是史上第一人,故誌之。
底下這段文字應該可以做為這個部落的說明文...
All complicates itself, with children. It is frightening. The day of the birth of the first is the most terrifying of your life. No one tells you those things. Your life, as you know it, is gone. Never would it return. But they learn to walk, and they learn to speak, and you want to be by them. And you discover that these are the most marvelous people of your life. (Lost in Translation,愛情.不用翻譯)
生兒育女是人生的大事,每個人面對這件事的態度也各不相同。這個部落是我初次為人父的心情雜記,有回應的人也歡迎交流。
