第1691期：【读者】写给女儿的毕业贺词
*本文作者：我的读者 Rebecca. 中英文均是她的肺腑之言。
孩子，今天是鲜花，掌声都送给你的日子，祝贺你大学毕业，成功顺利地完成了人生的又一个重要的里程碑，正式进入成人世界，开启生活的新篇章！
我们为你感到喜悦，欢心与自豪。同时百感交集的心绪像汹涌澎湃的海水一浪又一浪的淹没妈妈的眼睛，孩子，你待在父母身边的日子要比我们想像的要短得多！
小时候，爸爸妈妈刚刚开始在异国他乡的学业与职场的打拼，披星戴月，南征北战。姥姥身兼数职，既要负责全家人的饭食，又要照顾你各种的需要，还要重视你的启蒙教育，讲故事，数星星，采花朵…童年尽管少了些父母的陪伴，但你的童年回忆里却丝毫没有缺少家的温暖和儿时的童趣和色彩。
记得高中有一年的夏天，你在一家快餐店打零工。一天，你和家人分享了一段当天工作的经历。你偶遇一位和爸爸同一公司工作的前员工，他们俩素不相识。这位员工对你说，KT是一个工作压力感很大的公司，你的父亲能在那里巳经工作了十个年头，非常了不起，你应该为你爸爸感自豪！这段简短的对话从此让你体会到一日三餐中有多少父亲辛苦工作的付出。你也常常以此来提醒尙末谙世的弟弟，生活不是理所当然如此。
你要和同学出外旅游了，离母亲节只差两天。临行前的晚上，蹑手蹑脚地跑到我面前，轻声细语对我说，母亲节快乐，我真幸运，你是我的妈妈呀！姥姥是你的妈妈呀！
好了，孩子，无论身心还是知识技能的获取，你已经充分预备好了迎接人生下一站的挑战，作为父母，我们也完成这一份养育女儿的试卷，至于分数，让将来给予评断吧！
Forever 21 是你最喜欢逛的商店，21岁,你也正好全部完成了学业学分的要求，就摘抄Bob Dylan 这首Forever young 歌曲中的话语来结束家人对你美好的祝愿和希望！
愿上苍永远眷顾和看护你，
愿你心想美事 ，
愿你脚走正路，
愿你手做好事，
愿你永远年轻！
My
dear, Today is your day. You surely deserve these beautiful flowers and

We are so thrilled and proud of your great accomplishments!
I
am also sentimental at this special moment. The mixed feeling swallowed
my entire heart as if the waves keep hitting rocks. The tears are
trickling down on my cheek. Suddenly Daddy and me realize that the days
you are with us together are much shorter than we thought .

Pursuing
the better life, we moved here thousands and thousands miles from our
motherland and start a new life journey. At the beginning of years, we
weren’t affordable to spend much time with you. The only helper
available was your grandma. She was wearing multiple hats .Sometimes
she was a chief, sometimes she was a babysitter , essentially, she was a
teacher for your early education. Telling stories, counting the stars,
picking up flowers were such the fun things to do with your grandma. It
was a blessing to have grandma, your childhood was abundant with loving
and caring, through we were not around you all the time.

You
got a summer job at the fast food store when you were at sophomore year
of high school. One day, when you were chatting with a customer who was
a former employee at the same work place as your dad had. He shared
with you how stressful the working environment was over there. At last,
he emotionally told you It was such a amazing thing your daddy had been
working there for a long time despite of tough working loads, and you
should be very proud of him. Afterwards, you realized that it was
daddy’s hard working to make our daily bread be ready on the dining
table. You often share this experience with Brian who just start
exploring unknown, you can’t take everything for granted.

You
were going to trip with your friends, and Mother’s Day was only two
days away. The night before leaving, you tiptoed in my room and said to
me how lucky you are to have me and grandma!

You
are fully well prepared for future challenges you would face. Our
parenting work for you are accomplished now. Let time be a judge for
what we had been done.

21 is your most favorite shopping store. Perfectly, you complete all
academic requirements at 21 years old. Let me borrow those beautiful
words from Forever Young of Bob Dylan to conclude my notes.
